French news agency AFP reported on Monday that the Domo-Farm Frites team has reinstated Belgian cyclist Frank Vandenbroucke, who was recently given an 18-month suspension, with 12 months suspended, by the Flemish Community’s disciplinary commission. Vandenbroucke is appealing that decision.

After quantities of EPO, the steroid clenbuterol and morphine were found in his home in February, Vandenbroucke was suspended by the Belgian cycling federation, but that ban was recently overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, Switzerland. The ruling by the Flemish Community came just days before Vandenbroucke’s reinstatement by Domo.

"The contract [of Vandenbroucke] was frozen on February 28, and we have reinstated it. It’s as simple as that," Domo manager Patrick Lefevre told the Belgian agency Belga.

"Vandenbroucke is leaving for Saint-Moritz [Switzerland], and he will wait there until his return at the Tour of the Wallonne Region," added Lefevre.

Vandenbroucke will be in the company of several Domo teammates in Saint-Moritz, with whom he’ll train for the Wallonne race, which begins July 29 in Belgium.
