Doping sanction
Serrano received a two-year sanction after being caught under the UCI's biological passport programme. Evidence against Serrano was based on an abnormal haematological profile and two laboratory reports indicating the detection of CERA in two of his blood samples.[1] The first anomalies in his passport were from the 2008 season, when Serrano rode for Tinkoff Credit Systems,[2] while the two CERA positives were from 2009, when he rode for Fuji-Servetto.[1]

gollark: If stuff does magically run itself, I don't know *how* you would observe that.
gollark: CGoL can simulate itself, that doesn't mean it runs independently of a computer running it.
gollark: Stuff is seemingly not magically self-computing. At least, I haven't seen algorithms somehow run themselves.
gollark: That is a good question. "I think therefore I am" and all, but that really only implies that in some form "I" am running on some kind of processing hardware which can do consciousness, whether it is my foolish mortal brain in a universe with quarks and everything or a simulation of that on, I don't know, some kind of massive cellular automaton.
gollark: Well, the computer and jar have to physically exist in some form.
