The French Anti-doping Agency (AFLD) announced on July 12 that the Liquigas
rider had failed a test on the Tour de France's opening stage. The rider
was thrown out of the Tour, as the French event's first positive test
for 2008, and was suspended by his Italian ProTour squad.
Beltrán, one of Lance Armstrong's former mountain domestiques, has ridden
for the Liquigas team since leaving the Discovery Channel in 2006. His
Liquigas squad announced at the time it would fire the rider should the
B sample result uphold the findings of his A sample.
Officials are expected to formally announce the results of Beltrán's
B sample shortly. The news has also been published on lequipe.fr,
the publication owned by the same company as the Tour.
