Dan Friebe finds out.

Good follow up to his rapid fire questioning of the doping guy a few days ago.

    Nice comments by Stephane Heulot in the BikeRadar piece too, seems to all but say there was organised doping at SD.

    In the past, Heulot also told how when he was with FdJ, he team camper vans had fridges with EPO for Gianetti and Sciandri. He told the FdJ senior management of this, they almost pulled the plug but it formed the basis of the team we have today, where riders are told they don't have to win, just to stay healthy and try their best.

    This
    is interesting. From the Today programme and the BBC website regarding EPO and athletics:

    That BBC piece is interesting.

    Is the CERA test so brand spanking new, or is it just that the Lausanne lab were looking differently at the results - the gels this article talks about - than the lab who did the Giro tests on Ricco et al ?

    Yes, I suspect there will be large numbers of athletes doping in Beijing, particularly the Chinese on home ground - the number of medals they'll win will make the Germans efforts at the 1936 Olympics look amateurish.
