Colombian Germán Darío Gómez has posted a full-blown defence of his innocence after news broke earlier this week of his suspension for Boldenone, a banned anabolic steroid used principally on livestock.
The Polti VisitMalta racer, 24, tested positive for the substance following an out-of-competition test on December 28 in Colombia.
Gómez was suspended by both the UCI and his team pending a definitive verdict on the case. As with any case of suspected doping, Gómez can request to have his ‘B’ sample tested, and it is not clear yet whether he will do so.
From hereon, Gómez said, he would fight to clear his name, prove his innocence and continue his career. He also expressed thanks to Polti VisitMalta “for their trust and support over the years.”
