"It is with great disappointment that we inform you of the confirmation of Aurela Nerlo's positive result for LGD-4033. Our policy is one of zero tolerance, while also respecting the athlete and the process," the team wrote on social media. The Polish rider has tested positive for Ligandrol in a test she underwent right before the Tour de France Femmes where she had been scheduled to race.

The sample was first analysed during the Olympic Games Rio 2016 and was reported as negative with the detection methods applied by the WADA-accredited laboratory available at the time.
