Boldenone is classified as an Anabolic Androgenic Steroid and is listed under class S1.1 of the 2025 World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List, which is adopted by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI).
In accordance with the UCI Anti-Doping Rules, the rider has been provisionally suspended by the UCI. He has the right to request the analysis of the B sample.
The sample collection and analysis were carried out as part of the independent anti-doping program implemented by the ITA on behalf of the UCI. Since January 2021, the ITA has led the operational delivery of anti-doping activities in cycling, while the UCI retains authority for results management and the prosecution of Anti-Doping Rule Violations (ADRVs). The notification and provisional suspension were issued by the UCI.
As the case is currently ongoing, no further comments will be made at this time.
