Following his provisional doping suspension, a former teammate of Oier Lazkano has questioned how abnormalities in his biological passport went undetected for so long during their time at Movistar.
Lazkano lost his place at Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe as a result of the suspension, which the UCI announced in October, but it was during his time on the Spanish WorldTour team – when he scored his best results – that the "unexplained abnormalities" were detected: 2022, 2023 and 2024.
