Monday, June 21st--- Two Irish cyclists, Simon Coughlan and Michael Fitzgerald, have both been banned for 3 months by the ICF after both riders failed drug tests. This raises the total of Irish riders that have failed drug tests in the last 18 months to five.
Coughlan was caught for pseudoephadrine, which he claims was due to an over the counter cough bottle. Fitzgerald, caught for ephedrine, claims he got it from herbal tea. Neither of the two riders wanted to have the secondary sample tested. Coughlan was allegedly failed the test in the Tour of Ulster, while Fitzgerald failure apparently came during the Prutour.
Monday, June 21st--- Yesterday saw the Noel Taggert Memorial held in Banbridge. It was won by Eugene Moriarty. Also, as most of probably know by now, two un-named Irish cyclists are awaiting decisions by the ICF, after both riders failed drug tests.
