Monday, August 31, 2009 Astarloza’s B-sample also positive by Nick Mulder at 9:18 AM EST   comments Categories: Pro Cycling, Doping   The counter-analysis for the Spaniard Mikel Astarloza’s B sample confirms the positive test earlier this year. He failed a World Anti Doping Agency doping control on June 26, 25 days prior to his win in the 16th stage of the Tour de France, the mountain stage to Bourg-Saint-Maurice. Astarloza tested positive for the banned blood booster Erythropoietin. After Inigo Landaluze's failed doping test in July, he is the second rider from Spain's Euskaltel-Euskadi team that has tested positive for the new generation CERA.       comments Follow @Pro_Cycling Tweet Subscribe via RSS or daily email Contact the editor about this article
