Doping cases

On 3 May 2008 Bileka sent a letter to Silence–Lotto team management announcing his resignation from the team due to personal reasons, later revealed to be a positive test for EPO that resulted in a two-year ban. He made a comeback in professional cycling in 2010, riding for lower ranked teams. In 2012, while riding for Torku Şeker Spor, he tested positive for pseudoephedrine at the first stage of Tour of Trakya. He is now under a four-year-long suspension that will end 1 July 2016.
