http://www.radsport-news.com/sport/sportnews_82226.htm (German)

Admits to having taken EPO, Growth Hormone, Testosterone, Cortisone etc.
To get the products he would talk to his team doctors Ernst Jacob, Giuliano Peruzzi und Mark Schmidt.
Says the products weren't offered to the riders but if you wanted them you could get them as well as information on how to use them from those doctors.
Implicates Holczer must've had knowledge about what was going on.
Made his confession to help out Stefan Schumacher.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

So our friend Kopp took a little of everything from the team doctor's toolbox. No surprise there.

Besides the motives, there can be little doubt about the job description of these "doctors" on the team.

And I doubt things have changed much since.

 

[ToreBear]

This sounds like a good confession.

 

[kingjr]

Forgot to mention he also called out Sebastian Lang as a doper.

 

[roundabout]

Oh noes. I think Lang at least had a kinda anti-doping image in the media. Although I could be wrong.

 

[Mr.38%]

Lang was very vocal on dopers when Zabel put the WC Team together in 2007 ("Cheap excuses, idiots, no brain").

Props to Koppi for protecting his friends' financial basis against Holczers ridicolous claims.

Lang retired after '11. Cheap call out, but it might be useful.

Gerolsteiner's roster from '07:

FOTHEN, Markus
FOTHEN, Thomas
FROHLINGER, Johannes
FöRSTER, Robert
GATTO, Oscar
HAUSSLER, Heinrich
HIEKMANN, Torsten
KLINGER, Tim
KOHL, Bernhard
KOPP, David
KRAUSS, Sven
LANG, Sebastian
ORDOWSKI, Volker
REBELLIN, Davide
RUSS, Matthias
SCHOLZ, Ronny
SCHUMACHER, Stefan
STAMSNIJDER, Tom
STRAUSS, Marcel
WEGMANN, Fabian
WESTPHAL, Carlo
WROLICH, Peter
ZAUGG, Oliver
ZBERG, Markus
ZBERG, Beat

Try another name Mr Kopp, and somebody other than Rebellin, Kohl etc.

 

[roundabout]

IIRC Lang was his roommate.

Although I don't know how many races they did together as Kopp was more of a sprinter/classics guy.

 

[afpm90]

I always thought that Lang was on CERA on the 2008 Tour, like his famous team mates. I remember him climbing better than he used to, and being the strongest on a lot of breakaways.

 

[RHRH19861986]

Props to Koppi for protecting his friends' financial basis against Holczers ridicolous claims.

100% agree.

When I heard few weeks ago that Kopp would join the trial in Stuttgart, I already had this strong feeling he would be an important support for Schumacher.

And good to see Kopp himself apparently is doing well, and didn´t follow VDB´s or others´s path.

Great person and athlete - not many riders have been on the podium of E3 and Wevelgem.

Can´t imagine that Lang was on CERA in 2008´s Tour. They tested Schumi and Kohl positive, so they would also have caught Lang (I know that many more than Schumi, Kohl and Ricco have been positive, but these three were the only ones that have been declared positve in public).

Lang certainly wasn´t a hardcore doper. Kopp said he took Synacthene, and I could imagine he furthermore did EPO, but can´t imagine many more things. Lang, however, was and is a hardcore hypocrite.

Good thing dottore Peruzzi is now a proud member of MPCC, representing Caja Rural. Yet, Jonathan Vaughters and the Race Radio never heard of him.

Yep.

I am not surprised at JV saying such. He plays the game to suit his needs never revealing his cards.

Not much is known about RR, how involved he was in the sport so could be plausible he doesn't know anything about Peruzzi.

Would like Gatto, Stamsnijder, and Haussler.

I dont expect these fellows to know every New Kid on The Block but when one comes to these kinda statements one wonders where the interest lies:

Jonathan Vaughters ‏@Vaughters 6 june
@BCJS14 no. I just ask him who was there. Why would I? I don't care who is there. I care what the policy is.

Jonathan Vaughters ‏@Vaughters 6 june
@bcjs14 don't ask him, that is.

BSS ‏@BCJS14 6 june
@Vaughters Doing dealings with:
* Mantovani
* Menuet
* Peruzzi
* Besnati
is not normal. Not even mentioning others, dont BS people.

Jonathan Vaughters ‏@Vaughters 6 june
@BCJS14 I don't know who any if these folks are, man. No idea. Don't bull**** me.

Race Radio ‏@TheRaceRadio 6 june
@Vaughters @BCJS14 Latest Italian Boy Band?

Every mtf in cycling knew that Gerolsteiner was a joke, everyone in cycling knows the history of mister Besnati, mister Vaughters knows monsieur Menuet thanks to his sweet loving with David Millar. But hello, all are welcome at MPCC.

Latest Italian boyband? Pathetic.

 

[Ferminal]

Forgot to mention he also called out Sebastian Lang as a doper.

Good work.

Like all of them, Lang had some uber dodgy performances at Gerolsteiner but somehow had a relatively intact reputation.

Yea, besnati. I think there was a thread.
