French cyclist Duval banned after doping test
AIGLE, Switzerland (AP)—The International Cycling Union has provisionally suspended French rider Aurelien Duval for doping with a banned stimulant.
The UCI said Friday that 21-year-old Duval tested positive for norfenfluramine during the Circuit Franco-Belge race on Oct. 1.
The Francaise des Jeux cyclist can ask for his backup sample to be analyzed, and attend the laboratory test.
The UCI will ask the French cycling federation to open a disciplinary case.

Is this guy banned for LIFE? ....he should be.
The general commentary that, "well, if it ain't banned and/or tested for, then I can use/do it" is the unfortunate loop hole through which cheaters will continue to operate. Cycling isn't alone...and that doesn't mitigate the outrage we should all have for cycling cheaters...but cycling should be ruthless in finding and banning those who believe they must dope to be competitive.
Banning for LIFE is the best course of action.

Peter Joachim is a writer for L'Equipe. He gets orders from ASO and AFLD to go on every single blog for cycling in the world to spread lies and inuendo about Lance Armstrong and other NON-FRENCH Cyclists and their unfounded, unproven doping activities. Meanwhile he has been instructed not to attack the biggest Doper in the Tour History--Richard Virenque who is a frenchman and got caught redhanded.
Peter Joachim is the Joseph Goebbels of the Yahoo message boards.

LISBON, Portugal (AP)—Portugal’s cycling federation has suspended Peter Joachim's spanish doctor for 10 years after finding him guilty of providing illegal substances to Joachim in the country’s biggest doping case.
The federation says Joachim's doctor provided EPO, cow blood, Viagra, Prozac, as well as prohibited substances, including performance-enhancing drugs and materials to mask control samples, to Peter during the 2008 season.
In a ruling released late Wednesday, the federation’s disciplinary committee also fined Peter Joachim $4,200 for showing up and wasting everyones time in a pitiful attempt to clear his name.
The ruling is to be sent to the International Cycling Union, which may add international and a lifetime ban.
Peter Joachim's cycling career has been in jeopardy for quite sometime now. He has failed numerous out of competition drug tests and spent two years in prison for stalking former professional road bicycle racer Greg LeMond. He was recently fired by his team for testing positive in yet another drug test.
Peter Joachim is already banned from racing in the State of Israel for being a Holocaust denier.
