Brazilian cyclist Da Silva Ramos fails doping test

-

The Internatio­nal Cycling Union says a Brazilian rider has failed a doping test.

The UCI says Kleber da Silva Ramos tested positive for a banned substance during a preOlympic test on July 31. He has been suspended until a ruling is made on his case.

Da Silva Ramos competed in the men's Olympic road race on Aug. 6 but failed to finish. He is not due to compete in any other events.

On Friday, the Court of Arbitratio­n for Sport said three athletes had failed doping tests — a Chinese swimmer, a Polish weightlift­er and a Bulgarian runner. None of them won medals in Rio de Janeiro.
