Monday, June 29, 2009 Pfannberger B-sample positive by VeloNation Press at 12:04 PM EST   comments Categories: Pro Cycling, Doping   The Austrian Anti-Doping Agency announced Monday that cyclist Christian Pfannberger's B-sample has come back positive for EPO, confirming the initial test. Pfannberger is no stranger to positive doping tests, having served a two-year ban from 2004-2006 for testosterone use. Since he is a repeat offender, he will be facing an 8 years to lifetime ban in the sport. Team Katusha and the International Cycling Union (UCI) suspended the rider in May when the initial results were announced. The 29-year-old national champion in 2007 and 2008 still denies EPO use.       comments Follow @Pro_Cycling Tweet Subscribe via RSS or daily email Contact the editor about this article
