VeloNews has the story.

The Italian ANSA news agency has reported that cyclist Ricardo Riccò, who tested positive for a new form of EPO, following the 4th stage of the Tour de France, has admitted to having doped in preparation for the French tour.

According to ANSA, the former Saunier Duval rider made the admission at a hearing before the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) on Wednesday.

So that's good, that he admits it, right?

"It was my error alone and because of this I refused the option to have my B sample tested," said Riccò. "My thoughts are with my team because of me some could have lost their jobs.
"I'm thinking also of my teammates who, because of me, could not continue their adventure in the Tour de France."

JENS!

"I am being saved for something special," smiled Voigt. "I am like a tightly coiled spring and I'm just waiting for Bjarne to pull the trigger and release me and then - bam, I will explode into the race."

I'm a vegatarian, so none of that hot dog business. I am a graphic designer and I have a lot of "greeking" (dummy copy or Lorem Ipsum) at my fingertips. Odd that it's called "greeking" since it's latin...anyway here it is.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Cras est. Mauris rhoncus, nibh a cursus faucibus, eros sapien aliquet enim, ut commodo odio sem sit amet nisi. Fusce cursus lorem eu lorem.
