Well, he did say he wanted to be like Pantani........

I don't get the sudden spate of EPO catches though... I thought the cheats mostly used it out of competition so it was gone from their systems by the time they raced. Maybe they developed a better test now? (if so, excellent)

I think they are using a new variant of EPO, called CERA (Continuous Erythropoietin Receptor Activator) which I'm presuming hasn't been detectable up until now. Hence the sudden spate of positive tests.
