One of cycling's top riders could face a doping sanction after testing under the biological passport programme revealed abnormal values, the UCI announced Friday. At a press conference in Aigle, Switzerland, the organisation's president Pat McQuaid and anti-doping manager Anne Gripper revealed some details from the testing done to date, but did not name any riders.

Of the 2,172 samples collected from riders since the beginning of the programme, there were 23 riders who "warranted further scrutiny" due to unusual patterns in blood or urine profiles. Of those, one rider is expected to be sanctioned, while four others are also facing potential bans.

Shocked they didn't name names, isn't that what they are supposed to do?

i thought so too, why start to act responsibly now. i cant believe they learned any kind of lesson from dropping names too soon. but by this point we should expect inconsistancies from all aspects

They don't usually name any names originally, but I'm sure it will only be a matter of days before someone 'leaks' them.
