Valle del Cauca News.
Jarlinson Pantano has undoubtedly been one of the most important cyclists that Valle del Cauca has had. The runner not only won the heart of the region and the country, but also a name in such a complex sport.
His situation in professionalism changed in 2019, when the International Cycling Union found him “guilty of doping” and suspended him for four years.
At the time, he tested positive for EPO in a control carried out by the Anti-Doping Cycling Foundation (CADF) on February 26, 2019..
From what the organization’s Anti-Doping Tribunal indicated, it found in Pantano “the presence of recombinant erythropoietin.”
In June of that same year, and when he had a 12-month provisional suspension, Jarlinson Pantano announced his retirement from Cali.
When he ended his professional career he was part of the Trek-Segafredo World Tour team.
