Matthias Kessler is recovering slowly after his crash. His situation is not life threatening anymore. He is able to move a little bit again, according to his father.

Unsurprisingly, Zirbel's B-test also came back positive. |

all i can say is screw supplement/food companies. knowing that guy personally I still can't believe it. I know even some guys parents/closest supporters don't know...and I am not gonna try argue for him. Just can't believe it, not him. Oh well, I hope he comes back strong!
Unlike the "Ricco" clan, where both need to just not touch a bike. |

ricco's girlfreind
Vania Rossi: “If I’d taken CERA or anything else, I’d deserve to be put in jail.”
Riccardo Riccò's girlfriend has denied taking the banned blood-boosting drug EPO CERA, revealing she breast fed her baby boy just before undergoing the anti-doping test on January 10 that showed the positive test.
The Italian Olympic Committee announced on Friday that Vania Rossi failed a test for EPO CERA after she finished second at the Italian national cyclo-cross championships. Ricco tested positive for the same drug at the 2008 Tour de France.
"I can’t believe it. I’ve nothing to do with the accusations made against me," Rossi told the Italian La Repubblica newspaper.
"I’ve never taken banned substances and I especially haven’t done it now because I’m a mum and I’ve been breast feeding my baby boy since last July."
"People who know me and know my past, understand only too well that the whole thing is absurd. I’d never risk my son’s health for a bike race. That Sunday, while I was waiting for the control, I breast fed my son. If I’d taken CERA or anything else, I’d deserve to be put in jail."
"What happened? I don’t know but there are too many things that don’t add up."
On Friday afternoon the Italian Olympic Committee officially suspended Rossi from competition, just hours after her positive test was announced. She now faces an investigation by the Italian anti-doping investigators.
Doping is illegal under Italian law and so Rossi could also face criminal charges.

Nice guys cheat, get over it 
And in many cases not even their parents or wives know about their usage of doping, not anything you go on rambling about when drunk at the family dinner.

Rocco says his girlfriend should tell him the truth. Also says in his article on cyclingnews that cycling isn't for women because it's to hard. What a tool. |

This is like : Lets take tour of California prologue in New York to remember 9.11
Yeaah nice idea ..realy emotional. But for me it is real important to keep politics and sport separated (main reason..only winners can decide what is wrong and what is not)
If we remember Tom Simpson, Fabio Casartelli or Serse Coppi ..this is different matter. |

Taking EPO while pregnant is like ticking the box next to the words "I want my son to be severely disabled, please"

I personally thought that EPO, and by extension CERA, have the main benifit of increasing recovery, in which case, why would you use them before a cyclocross, one day, race?

I disagree.
First of all, sport and politics have a long and important bond. Sport is normally just simple entertainment, but there are times in history when it becomes so much more than that because it enters onto the political stage. This has happened in cycling, such as Gino Bartali and the 1948 Tour de France.
Secondly, the Holocaust is not just a simple political event. It was one of the worst tragedies in human history and its eyewitnesses are rapidly disappearing. Remembering what happened at Auschwitz and honoring its survivors is an important thing to do, and I am glad that the organizers of the Tour de Pologne are doing something for that.

Besides that, EPO also greatly improves one day performance.
Maximum power is increased 11% and stamina (measured by the time during which you can hold a reasonably high effort) is increased a whooping 54%
That's why without EPO it's nigh-impossible to compete.
In Cyclo-cross it wouldn't be anywhere near as beneficial, but it would still be a major advantage

Quick question for you isso
why the fuck isn't the blood test used instead of (or with) the urine test?
I know the riders don't like getting blood drawn after every stage, but still.

But it IS used.
What isn't used and should be is the CO test for total blood volume. What's the CO test, you ask?
There's this type of doping (blood transfusions) that has a massive, tremendous effect, is widely used, completely undetectable..........and there's a test that can detect it extremely easily....but it's never used. ever. Because the WADA doesn't feel like it.
Is it me or is that insanity?

Do you have a link for that test?
Also thanks for clearing up the EPO statistics, although are those numbers for microdoping or for the detectable doping?

It isn't insanity, it's a matter of interest. Sort of the same that happens with the FIFA and the application of technology to football. If you do apply the necessary tools to prevent cheats, you will no longer have an excuse to say 'hey, they cheat, but I can't do anything to prevent it'. |

How much do you know about Ruanda genocide? This is not some 40's this was 1994..and they killed million (can you believe it).
If you like 40's then ..why tour of Pologne does not make a stage to honor 275 000 Polack who was departed to the siberia. You dont know bout it and you dont care about it.
same time I am filled with jewish suffering PR. |
