    Cycling's governing body: Schleck tests positive for diuretic at Tour de France

    PAU, France - Cycling's governing body says Frank Schleck of Luxembourg has tested positive for a banned diuretic during the Tour de France.

    The 32-year-old RadioShack Nissan Trek leader placed third in the Tour last year.

    Sport governing body UCI says the diuretic Xipamide turned up in an anti-doping test on a sample from Schleck taken July 14. The diuretic is classified as a specified substance and does not require a provisional suspension.

    A team spokesman had no immediate comment.

    The UCI said Tuesday that Schleck has the right to request a test of his B sample.
