MotoGP rider Iannone handed four-year doping suspension - CAS

REUTERS: Italian MotoGP rider Andrea Iannone has been banned for four years after testing positive for a banned steroid, the Court of Arbitration for Sport said on Tuesday.

"The CAS Panel rejected the appeal filed by Andrea Iannone and upheld the appeal filed by WADA," CAS said in a statement. Iannone, who has a contract with Aprilia until the end of the 2020 season, said he tested positive because he ingested the banned substance accidentally through contaminated meat.The CAS panel, however, found that Iannone had established"neither the precise type of meat he had consumed nor the origin of the said meat".
