Aurillac - The head of the French anti-doping agency says veteran Spanish rider Manuel Beltran has tested positive for EPO at the Tour de France.
Pierre Bordry says the 37-year-old Liquigas rider had traces of the performance-enhancing drug in a test carried out during the three-week race.
Beltran has been informed and has the right to ask for a second sample to be tested, Bordry said.
