Pena Iza's Euskaltel-Euskadi team said in a communique they had told him to leave the Giro as a precautionary measure following the 'A' test. He has been suspended by the team until further notice.
Pena Iza was lying 51st overall after Tuesday's stage of the Giro, won by Italian Stefano Garzelli.
Giro organiser Angelo Zomegnan declined to comment on the incident.
