Italian Riccardo Ricco positive for EPO at Tour

I knew it!

That was one of the few things I forgot to drop in my last post regarding the Tour update.

Here's this kid, Riccardo Ricco. How old is he? 24? And he's winning hilly stages and mountain stages in the Giro and the Tour? And he's reaching the finishing line looking like he's barely breathing hard?

Are you f#cking kidding me?

What I'm failing to understand is the actual EPO. I get how it works but don't the riders realize there are tests that detect EPO? Or have the tests evolved so that they're getting past whatever the riders use to mask the EPO?

Whatever. Regardless. Glad they busted that punk. I never really liked him anyway.
