not his second but his third cocaine positive:
Tom Boonen's positive doping control for cocaine announced last week was his third, one more than originally believed for the drug. The Belgian's first positive test for cocaine and ecstasy, only now made public, was in November 2007.
The sprinter faced an out-of-competition doping control by the International Cycling Union (UCI) on November 15, 2007. The testing lab in Gent, Belgium, found cocaine and ecstasy, a so-called "party drug" that is an amphetamine derivative.
Neither substance is prohibited out-of-competition, so the lab reported it as a negative test. According to the belga news agency, Boonen and Quick Step only learned of this test in December of 2008
