AG2R Citroën announced that they have reinstated Alex Baudin following an internal investigation by the team's ethics committee. The UCI disqualified Baudin from the 2023 Giro d’Italia after testing positive for Tramadol on stage 17 of the race, and AG2R Citroën sidelined him from competition beginning on August 1 while conducting its own examination into the matter.
"AG2R Citroën team announces the reinstatement of Alex Baudin after an in-depth examination by the team's ethics committee," the team wrote in an official statement on Friday. "Alex Baudin has not taken part in any competition since 1 August 2023 following his disqualification from the Giro d'Italia."
