Not sure if it's ASO behind the proposed announcement of (French?) rider positives for EPO during the 1998 and 1999 tour on the day of this years Alp d'Huez stage..

It's the French Senate. My mention of ASO was in relation to esl's post

It is about to get very messy......on the day of the Queen stage of the Tour, the French Senate will release the names of about 40 riders from the "98 Tour who's samples have been retrospectively tested and found positive.

The issue of the report is to be delayed till after the end of the tour.

Good. It would overshadow the Tour.

Could also have been very embarrassing for a fair number of Team support staff/DSs and some current riders

Sean Yates on Eurosport looking like a fairground worker with a mullet, a dangly gold earring... and a Livestrong band. You have to wonder about anyone still wearing those.

Track athletes are starting to get caught out - some big names too..

Gay's statement is a bit confusing. " I don’t want to use certain words, to make it seem like an accident, because I know exactly what went on, but I can’t discuss it right now. ... I do realise and respect what I put in my body, and it is my responsibility. I’m going to be honest with Usada, about everything, everybody I’ve been with, every supplement I’ve ever taken, every company I’ve ever dealt with, everything.” but also “I basically put my trust in someone and was let down.” Maybe he's admitting knowingly doping but blaming his trainer (or someone) for telling him he wouldn't be caught?!

Sounds like it.

I see Asafa Powell is using a version of Contador's "dodgy steak" wheeze.

They must think we're as stupid as they are.

Biff · « **Reply #1686 on:** 16 July, 2013, 09:18:23 am »

I read that over 70 medical products were found in Powell's hotel room in Italy. 70?? Not even the most paranoid hypochondriac needs that much medication, let alone a very fit young man at the peak of health. I'll post the link if I can find it.

Even I don't carry that many, and I regard myself as a sub-branch of the local pharmacy.

Cozy Powell? 70? That's normal for a rock star isn't it?

It would make sense if it had been Colin.

Ah yes. Remember his 'bags of blood' speech? He was proved right.

Who wants to play join the dots before Wednesday's report is published? Just a bit of fun with some incomplete and probably inaccurate data.

I'd be really disappointed, not to say stunned, if Boardman were named.

Jacky Durand's come clean already:

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/durand-admits-name-will-be-on-french-senate-list-of-epo-positives

And last month, L'Equipe fingered Laurent Jalabert as testing positive in the 1998 TdF, so that's two for a start:

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/jalabert-tests-positive-for-epo-at-1998-tour-de-france

Edit:

Le Monde have named Laurent Desbiens, Marco Pantani, Jan Ulrich, Bobby Julich, Erik Zabel, Mario Cipolloni, Andrea Tafi, Fabio Sacchi and Jeroen Blijlevens.

spesh · « **Reply #1699 on:** 24 July, 2013, 12:10:17 pm »

Of course, it's worth noting that the French Senate report is on doping in sport in general, not just cycling in particular. The list of positives from the 1998 TdF is merely one of the appendices...
