I have not yet heard if this mean Belgium is suspended or not.
No ruling on that yet, which is going to be the big issue here. I also haven't heard if the team (and I guess her) would be suspended only for cross or is it all UCI competition. If it is all UCI competition then Belgians could miss the Olympics. Also, if the Belgian federation is suspended does it bar them from organizing events? Tour de Flanders is coming up... Depending on how long they take to investigate, even a six month sanction (minimum for the team) could very well cut into cross season.
