Not really. The UCI have hardly pressed on this matter. It's a couple of years since his DNA was matched. The Spanish federation and the Spanish judge in charge of the case are most to blame for the delays. I think the head of the Spanish federation recently described Valverde as a "flawless rider and a flawless person".
At least he loses the titles and prize money he won this year though that is little compensation for him having earned a shit load between the DNA match and the start of this year.
And it means Evans will be moved up to number one in the world rankings.
