Lazkano provisionally suspended over bio passport anomalies
The UCI announced on Thursday that Oier Lazkano, who joined Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe this year after three seasons with Movistar, has been provisionally suspended "due to unexplained abnormalities in his Athlete Biological Passport" in stretching across three seasons from 2022 to 2024.
The news may offer an explanation as to why the 25-year-old Basque rider, Spain's national champion in 2023, has not raced since Paris-Roubaix all the way back in April. Presumably he is now tasked with explaining his unexplained abnormalities to the relevant authorities in an effort to avoid a longer term ban.
