Dara just one the national title in the 100M Freestyle in 54.4 at the ripe old age of 40. Simply Incredible. :applaud: :woot:

Beltran.....yeah he's naively confident, stupid, or maybe desperate. The EPO tests continue to advance so these riders are idiots. The positive tests usually result in a 2 year ban.
What I don't understand is, surely the performance gain from EPO in a lengthy cycling race must be very large, perhaps over 10%? Assuming that many of the cyclists have similar clean performance, if the majority are clean I don't understand why those who fail drug tests aren't disappearing off into the distance ahead of all the clean athletes?
