The UCI announces that Spanish rider Oier Lazkano Lopez has been provisionally suspended in accordance with UCI anti-doping rules, due to inexplicable anomalies in his athlete biological passport (*) in 2022, 2023, and 2024.

The UCI will not comment further while the proceedings are ongoing.

Lazkano, who will turn 26 on November 7th, moved to Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe this year but his last race was Paris-Roubaix last April: the German team, as is its custom, has never released statements regarding the rider's physical issues. During the three seasons indicated in the UCI communication, the Spanish rider was with Movistar Team.
