CAPE TOWN — South African cyclist David George, a former teammate of Lance Armstrong, has tested positive for blood-boosting EPO. South Africa's Institute for Drug-Free Sport said George, who cycled with the disgraced Armstrong on the US Postal Service team in 1999 and 2000, failed a doping test on Aug. 29. SAIDS said George has been provisionally suspended and faces a doping tribunal. SAIDS chief executive Khalid Galant said “his (George's) biological passport indicated suspicious activity and that triggered a targeted test for EPO.” George is also a two-time Commonwealth Games medalist. — AP
