Cycling-Astana hit by fifth doping case

Nov 26 (Reuters) - Kazakhstan's Artur Fedosseyev on Wednesday became the fifth Astana rider in two months to be suspended by the International Cycling Union (UCI) after testing positive for anabolic androgenic steroids. The 20-year-old Fedosseyev joins brothers Maxim and Valentin Iglinskiy, trainee Iliya Davidenok and reserve team member Victor Okishev, all from Kazakhstan, on a growing list of Astana riders to fail doping tests this season. The UCI has provisionally suspended Fedosseyev, who tested positive in a sample taken on Aug. 16 during the Tour de l'Ain. Fedosseyev, who rides in the same team as Tour de France champion Vincenzo Nibali, has yet to request a B sample test. (Reporting by Michael Hann; editing by Ken Ferris)
