Spanish cyclist Joseba Beloki, a three-time podium finisher on the Tour de France, announced his retirement on Friday.
Aside from Puerto allegations, Beloki's career might best be remembered for its worst moment.
The 34-year-old had been without a team since being implicated, along with dozens of other cyclists, in the Operación Puerto doping affair which has dominated the sport's headlines over the past 18 months.
