Toon Aerts was today confirmed and suspended from racing because of breaking anti-doping rules. The Belgian cyclocross rider has spent the past year and a half trying to prove his innocence but his efforts were to no avail.
The UCI Anti-Doping Tribunal has rendered its decision in the case concerning Toon Aerts," the statement said."The Tribunal found Toon Aerts guilty of an anti-doping rule violation (presence of letrozole metabolite in a sample collected out-of-competition on 19 January 2022) and imposed a two-year period of ineligibility, starting from 16 February 2022 (the date on which he accepted a provisional suspension)."
