Team Astana Terminates Vladimir Gusev

From Roadcycling.com:
The Astana Cycling Team management has terminated the contract of Russian cyclist Vladimir Gusev due to irregular values.
...
“Vladimir Gusev has been officially notified that he no longer represents Team Astana”, said General Manager Johan Bruyneel. “Though his results do not indicate the use of forbidden substances, Vladimir’s values exceeded the normal parameters established by Dr. Damsgaard and were not compliant with the strict agreement signed by all thirty riders. Our Kazakh sponsors have also been made aware of this decision and are fully supportive.”

There's also a brief bit about it over at l'Equipe but it's in French.
