After the announcement that Manuel Beltràn resulted ‘positive’ after a dope-test carried out at the end of the first stage of the Tour de France, Liquigas Sport S.p.A. makes arrangements for down revocation of the athlete from the race and his suspension – as agreed with organizing - to be done. If the counter-dope test will confirm Beltràn positiveness, the Team will act with his down dismissal and could sue the rider for damages.

Team manager Roberto Amadio says that he is «shocked for the news. We wait for the result of further provided checks and at the same time, even though with regret, we prepare ourselves to take on strict disciplinary measures, according with the values that our team has always respected».
