Astana chases on stage nine of the 2014 Tour de France
Artur Fedosseyev of the Astana Continental team has tested positive for the use of anabolic androgenic steroids, the UCI confirmed on Wednesday, and becomes the fifth Astana rider to test positive in 2014.
The Kazakhstani rider's positive sample was collected at the Tour de l’Ain in August, and is just another name to add to a list of doping scandals Astana has been involved with this year.
