Carvalho gets a four-year suspension for biological passport anomalies

A month after the UCI announced that Portuguese Continental rider António Carvalho (Feirense-Beeceler) had been provisionally suspended for biological passport anomalies, the governing body announced a four-year ban on Wednesday.

As stated by the UCI, Carvalho's biological passport was flagged for anomalies "in 2018, 2023 and 2024," and he evidently decided not to fight the case, which "has been resolved by way of an acceptance of consequences."
