Technically he should have been sanctioned for a positive test for cortocoids in 1999 but the UCI post dated his Theraputic Use Exemption (TUE) form. No-one wanted a doping positive the year after the Festina Affair.
He's also never explained the presence of EPO in 6 of his urine samples from the same Tour, uncovered by l'Equipe in 2005.
