Team Sky have backed Sergio Henao, after withdrawing the Colombian from racing for a second time while the Cycling Anti-Doping Foundation investigate his biological passport.
Henao was first withdrawn by the team in 2014 while they conducted their own investigations into readings given by the 28-year-old during out-of-competition control tests at altitude in his Colombia.
And the CADF have now contacted Henao for more information about readings on his Athlete Blood Passport, which Team Sky say include the same readings which prompted their own research.
Henao has been withdrawn from racing, as is Team Sky’s policy, while the investigation is carried out, but the British WorldTour team hope the Colombian will bounce back again.
