Cyclist Pfannberger gets lifetime ban for doping
November 21, 2009 7:17 AM

VIENNA
The Austrian cycling federation says Christian Pfannberger has been banned for life by the national anti-doping agency after a second doping offense.



Pfannberger, a two-time Austrian national champion, pulled out of the Giro d'Italia and was suspended by his Katusha team in May after he tested positive for the banned drug EPO in an out-of-competition check on March 19.

Pfannberger had previously been suspended for two years for testosterone in 2004.

The 30-year-old cyclist has denied any wrongdoing. He can appeal Saturday's ban at the agency's arbitrary committee.
