US marathon runner Eddy Hellebuyck has tested positive for blood-boosting EPO, the US Olympic Committee (USOC) announced at Colorado Springs on Thursday.

Hellebuyck failed an out-of-competition test on January 30 before he finished eighth in the US Olympic men's marathon trials eight days later, the USOC said in a statement.

The USOC said the Anti-Doping Review Board of the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) had determined that sufficient evidence of doping existed to proceed with the case.

However, Hellebuyck is disputing the positive test results in the USADA adjudication process, the USOC said.
