Classification revised following anti-doping control Following an anti-doping control carried out during the 24 Hours of Le Mans, one sample was found not in accordance with the rules of the FIM Anti-Doping Code. The sample of the rider of the Swedish team Fägersjö-el.se Jan Hansson was containing a concentration of 180 ng/ml of salbutamol, a substance which is submitted to a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) foreseen in the FIM Anti-Doping Code. But the administrative procedure required for issuing this authorization by the FIM was not respected by the rider, and thus the International Disciplinary Court decided to exclude the team from the results of the 24 Hours of Le Mans (in which it had finished on 8th place) and to give a warning to Jan Hansson and the Swedish Federation for not having respected the procedure foreseen in the Anti-doping Code. The Endurance World Championship points’ standing, consequently revised, is the following: Classification after 5 races: 1. Suzuki Castrol Team (FRA-Suzuki), 115 points ; 2. Yamaha Austria Racing Team (AUT-Yamaha), 94; 3. Yamaha Phase One Endurance (GBR-Yamaha), 67; 4. Bolliger Team Switzerland (SUI-Kawasaki), 58; 5. Team Fägersjö-el.se Suzuki (SWE-Suzuki), 57; 6.
