Guest Big H Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Michael Rasmussen, pulled from this year's Tour de France while wearing the yellow jersey, is now reported to have been racing on Dynepro, a blood-boosting EPO-like product. Dynepro is not on the World Anti-Doping Agency's list of banned drugs because an official testing protocol has not been established. It's made from human cells, so WADA is wary of false positives if naturally occurring EPO is mistaken for Dynepro. Reports say Dynepro has been detected in the urine tests of about 10 other athletes. Rasmussen was on the way to Tour victory when he was sent home for lying to his team, Rabobank. At issue was his whereabouts during missed out-of-competition drug tests.
Willehond Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Just heard Marion Jones admitted to taking "the clear" during her Sydney Olympic victories. Also saw one of the TWO Boland Craven week players who were tested was found positive! If they tested two how many schoolboy rugby players are dirty, not to mention seniors!!! Wonder if rugby will wake up and/or get the doping reputation cycling has?

Tumbleweed Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 course he did. there's a chapter, with no names mentioned, at the end of from lance to landis in which he's implicated in (correct me if i'm wrong) trying to get bovine blood transported. the story resurfaced during the tour, with his name attached
