An 18-year-old Azerbaijani rider has been provisionally suspended by the UCI after testing positive for methamphetamines.

Artyom Proskuryakov tested positive in two samples collected after "intelligence-led testing" at the UCI Road World Championships in Kigali, Rwanda, in September, it was revealed on Tuesday. He is allowed to ask his B samples be checked.

The test came after the men's junior road race. Proskuryakov did not finish that race, which was won by Britain's Harry Hudson after a 36.4km solo attack. You may like
