One year suspension for Ronann Vivier! The French cycling federation has announced that the young Breton rider (20 years old) was tested positive on June 30 at the Normandy Cup in Lénault (Calvados). Corticosteroids (Prednisone and Prednisolone) have been found in his urine. The rider of the Côtes d'Armor-Marie Morin-Véranda Rideau team is suspended from all competitions until October 9, 2019.
