Andrea Iannone has been provisionally suspended by the International Motorcycling Federation (FIM) by testing positive for a prohibited substance in a urine sample that the World Anti-Doping Agency (AMA) took in the last Malaysian Grand Prix in November of this year.

Iannone, 30 and fellow Aleix Espargaró in the Aprilia Racing Team Gresini, tested positive for an unspecified substance in the group of exogenous anabolic androgenic steroids in the sample that AMA took in Sepang on November 3.

The Italian, who has already been informed by the International Motorcycle Federation of his provisional sanction, may not participate in any event or competition until the case is resolved.

Despite not giving more information, the FIM said that the pilot can request the analysis of the urine sample B that was taken, as well as request the lifting of his provisional suspension.

In 2019, Vasto faced his seventh World Championship in MotoGP and finished the championship in sixteenth position, the worst of his career in the queen category and adding only 43 points. His best date was that of Australia, with a sixth position.
