Jarlinson Pantano Gómez (born 19 November 1988) is a Colombian racing cyclist,[2][3] who rides for Colombian amateur team Nu Colombia.[4] Pantano previously rode professionally between 2012 and 2019 for the Colombia, IAM Cycling and Trek–Segafredo teams, before he was suspended for four years after a positive drugs test for erythropoietin (EPO).[5][6]
He competed in the 2014 Giro d'Italia. In December 2014 he was announced as part of the squad for the IAM Cycling team for 2015.[7] He raced in the 2015 Tour de France, finishing in 19th place.[8] Pantano was the winner of the fifteenth stage of the 2016 Tour de France, on a mountain stage across the Grand Colombier, from Bourg-en-Bresse to Culoz.
In July 2016 he replaced Nairo Quintana for selection in the individual road race at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.[9]
In 2016, he signed a two-year contract with Trek–Segafredo for the 2017 and 2018 seasons.[10] Pantano agreed a two-year extension of his contract in 2018, through 2020.[11]
In April 2019, Trek–Segafredo announced that Pantano had been 'immediately suspended' from the team after being notified that he had returned an adverse analytical finding (AAF) for erythropoietin (EPO) in a doping test carried out on 26 February.[12] As a result of the AAF, he was provisionally suspended from the sport by the UCI, the sport's international governing body.[13] In June 2019, he announced his retirement from professional racing.[14]
In May 2020, a UCI tribunal banned Pantano for four years, backdated to his initial provisional suspension, meaning he was unable to compete until April 2023.[6] Upon the completion of his ban, Pantano returned to the peloton – at amateur level – with Colombian team EPM–Scott.[4]
