The UCI today advised French rider Aurélien Duval (Francaise des Jeux) that he is provisionally suspended.

The decision to provisionally suspend Mr Duval was made in response to a report from the WADA accredited laboratory in Ghent indicating an Adverse Analytical Finding of Norfenfluramine in a urine sample collected from him during the Circuit Franco-Belge race on 1 October 2009.

The provisional suspension of Mr. Duval remains in force until a hearing panel convened by the French Cycling Federation determines whether he has indeed committed an anti-doping rule violation under Article 21 of the UCI Anti-Doping Rules.

Mr Duval has the right to request and attend the analysis of his B sample.

Under the World Anti-Doping Code and the UCI Anti-Doping Rules, the UCI is unable to provide any additional information at this time.
