Italian cyclist Paolo Bossoni on Wednesday received a two-year EPO ban.
Bossoni, a 'domestique' on Damiano Cunego and Marzio Bruseghin's Lampre team, tested positive for the blood-booster on June 29.
The news broke shortly after this year's Tour de France and he was suspended by Lampre.
Bossoni, 32, won a stage of the Tour of Spain in 2000 and came second in the Italian road race championship last year.
