Óscar Miguel Sevilla Ribera (born September 29, 1976 in Ossa de Montiel near Albacete ) is a Spanish cyclist .

Career

Seville became a professional in 1998 with the Spanish cycling team Kelme-Costa Blanca . In 2001 he achieved his breakthrough by winning the junior class of the Tour de France 2001 , which he finished in seventh place overall. In the autumn of this year he finished second in the Vuelta a España . At the Vuelta a España 2002 he finished fourth.

After a year with the Swiss Phonak Cycling Team Sevilla 2005 changed as a helper from Jan Ullrich the German T-Mobile team . He finished the Tour de France in 2004 in 24th and supported Ullrich, who was later disqualified for doping and who was classified as third.

On the morning of June 30, 2006, Sevilla was suspended from the T-Mobile team management together with Jan Ullrich and his supervisor Rudy Pevenage , so he could not compete in the 2006 Tour de France . The suspension was due to new facts in the Fuentes doping scandal . Sevilla and Ullrich had always denied involvement. However, the Spanish judiciary had handed over documents that, according to the T-Mobile management, left serious doubts as to the veracity of the two drivers' pledges of innocence. On July 21, Ullrich and Sevilla were fired.

After the preliminary proceedings against the suspected cyclists were suspended by the Spanish federation in October 2006, Seville received a contract with Professional Continental Team Relax-Gam at the beginning of the 2007 season .

In 2008 and 2009 he drove for the American team Rock Racing . In early 2010, Seville, who lives in Colombia, moved to a small Colombian team. In August 2010, he was tested positive at the Vuelta a Colombia for a preparation that increases blood volume, and was then suspended by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). After the Spanish Cycling Federation banned Seville for six months until February 21, 2012, the UCI appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in November 2011 with the aim of imposing the regular ban of two years. The CAS increased the ban in May 2012 to 12 months and recognized all successes from the 2010 Tour of Colombia.

After its doping ban, Sevilla continued to drive for Colombian teams and won the Vuelta Mexico in 2012 and the Vuelta a Colombia in 2013 and 2014. In 2017, he also won an international race on the European continent for the first time since 2007 with the overall ranking of the Tour of Madrid .
