Suspension

In October 2018, Salas was suspended for four years due to issues with his biological passport. The case was leaked in June, and resurfaced several months later, when he was originally handed a three-year and nine-month ban, which was later extended to four years. [1] This was the third suspension handed to a Burgos BH rider in the past year, as David Belda and Igor Merino were suspended for testing positive to human growth hormone and EPO. [3]
