The Spanish Cycling Federation (RFEC) has suspended Roberto Heras (Liberty
Seguros-W?rth) for two years after his positive doping test for EPO, taken
on the penultimate stage of the 2005 Vuelta a Espa?a. Thus, Russian Denis
Menchov (Rabobank) who finished second in the Spanish tour, will be recorded
as 2005 Vuelta a Espa?a champion, and Heras will remain with three victories
(2000, 2003 and 2004).
