"Leontien van Moorsel— another girl whose performances in those years were also just completely night and day— was off the front. Longo was there, but she didn’t counter Van Moorsel over a long gentle climb. So I just punched it over the top, and when I looked back I expected to see Longo, but she was gone. I put my head down and caught Van Moorsel, we worked together for a little bit, but I just rode her off my wheel.
That race was never in the news, but I won’t forget it because I beat them. Maybe they were or weren’t on drugs during that week, but on that day, I beat them. "

Inga Thompson basically called Leontien a doper 3 years ago. Given the era in which she rode, EPO use is hardly surprising.
