Yes.
USPS/Discovery; TdF; won the TTT in 2003, 2004, 2005.
Armstrong, Hincapie, Landis, Zabriskie, etc were all later found positive, and were individually DQ'd (individual stage results nullified retroactively).
I would guess that this has happened for other teams/riders/events.
The TTT results those riders contributed to still stand, interestingly, in that winning WC/Olympics track relay team results are individual-
and team-nullified even if only one member is found positive. Usain Bolt/the Jamaican team were stripped (in 2017) of the 2008 Olympics 4x100 Gold Medal and WR because of Nesta Carter's positive doping tests.

Apparently not.
The TTT stage result is not (has not been to date) nullified. USPS/Discovery are still listed as the winning team of those TTT stages even as Armstong's, Hincapie's, Landis's, Zabriskie's, etc names have been stricken as the individual winner of other stages in those same TdFs.
