On 4 May 2010 Prado's name was released as being one of several riders under investigation by the UCI for "irregular blood values".[1] The rider was suspended by his team Andalucía–Cajasur who released a statement saying that the haemoglobin and haematocrit levels appeared low, due to anaemia as a result of bleeding that the rider had suffered in April 2009 due to haemorrhoids.[2] In 2011 due to a strong ride in a breakaway in Stage 2 of the Vuelta Rosendo wore the white jersey for best combined rider for one day after losing it to Pablo Lastras.
