Everyone has heard by now that another TDF rider tested positive today. He was two-stage winner this year and dominant in the Pyrenees. He tested positive for a new EPO-type of drug - so new that it has only been available at the beginning of the year.
The doping labs said they are working with pharma companies to get an early look at drugs that might be used by athletes. This drug, Micera, is a more convenient form of EPO. The labs said they had the molecule some time ago to develop a test.
I bet some riders are nervous now thinking they could get away with this drug.
This is good news.....
Dan, here's one for you...
Martin on my left, Tyler on my right. The argyle guys are my team.
I'm envious Alison. I saw your picture on Facebook and thought it was awfully cool that you got to meet some Slipstream guys. I have been promised an argyle jersey for Christmas!
