Shows, once again, there's often more to this speculation lark, than just speculation....

    Lhotellerie let go by Vacansoleil

    Rider returns positive test for methylhexanamine

    Dutch team Vacansoleil have dismissed rider Clément Lhotellerie on Wednesday, after the Frenchman failed a doping control conducted on April 28.

    The team confirmed the news on its website and reported that the 23-year-old had tested positive for methylhexanamine. The substance, an active ingredient in nasal congestion medication, is listed on the banned lists of both the International Cycling Federation (UCI) and World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).

    The team said that an investigation would be carried out in accordance with UCI and WADA regulations, but that Vacansoleil and Lhotellerie had mutually agreed to terminate his contract.

    It is the second time in as many years that Lhotellerie has been dismissed by a team. Last year, Skil-Shimano dissolved its contract with the rider after he failed to attend two appointments with the team.

    Lhotellerie finished eleventh and won the climbing classification at Paris-Nice, in 2008.
