Enge is currently competing in the world GT1 championship aboard a Reiter Engineering’s Lamborghini Gallardo alongisde Albert von Thurn und Taxis.
In 2002, the Czech driver already failed a drug test while competing the Formula 3000 championship.
"This is a shock. After what happened in 2002, I was very careful in everything that could be related doping products," said Enge.
"I have suffered from long-term health problems which is why I recently asked the FIA for an exemption to use drugs that are on the list of prohibited substances. Now I need to consult with expert doctors as to how this situation has occurred. I ask people to understand me and I will give more information upon conclusion of doctors. I have the conscience to say that there is no substance," he added.
