Di Luca tests positive for EPO in OOC test.

[Zam_Olyas]

This is a conspiracy.

 

[theyoungest]

He tested positive three days after signing a contract. This guy is hardcore.

He needed to get in shape fast. No time for marginal gains.

Please tell me the best placed clean rider of that Giro.

The legend De Greef!
Edit: Sh*t, he wasnt there, my pick would be Pinotti

Well that was so unexpected , but his EPO must suck b@lls as he got dropped by Visconti 2 days ago

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Now that there is a positive test again, it's just kinda hard defending just to take the ****. stupid danilo

 

[Benotti69]

Cretino, just as Scinto said.

Scinto gave him a job. Cretino.

Tried to catch The Killer in yesterday's TT, but he was far out of sight. Luckily somebody else caught him! #NoSense #UCI #GoodWork

I remember back then there was a rumor about 7 or 8 positives in top-10 straight after the Giro. RCS surely preferred to sweep this thing under the carpet otherwise the edition would have had to be cancelled completely.

2007 was a hardcore year

 

[Race Radio]

Oops. Popped while not even getting to 6 W/kg. He must be doing it wrong.

That is because he was never good. Without Carlo Santuccione's full gas program he is nothing

 

[Benotti69]

Must be a mistake. Cycling is cleanER.

 

[SundayRider]

1% of the peloton at this Giro - popped. So what % are actually doping?

 

[ElChingon]

Humm... when did they start testing again?

What you suggest is not how it works. The organizer does not own the lab.

Probably the tresholds/testing methods were not good enough for a straight ban. Keep in mind there was a big arms race against Epo at that time, which only around that time made Epo more or less detectable.

He must be doing something right. With little preparation and a bit of EPO he placed 10th in a MTT, and he looks sort of hefty.

 

[Benotti69]

Only testing the likes of Di Luca and Menchov. Dont need to test the new generation they are clean, they said so.

Ben, how can you forget that 2012 year was cleanER?

 

[Cimber]

Di Luca to Cataldo (Italian ITT Champ) on Twitter yesterday about the time trial: "I only lost with 11 seconds. That means I'm strong!"

 

[Benotti69]

Oops sorry Zam, i forgot JV, Brailsford and McQuaid said it was, so it was of course.

He took it easy in the first half...

[Havetts]

Wonder if they'll retest his samples after the restdays to see if there were some good old refill days.

Seeing as how hundreds of tests can be taken without popping a positive, I am guessing the actual % is about what it was eight years ago.

I guess DiLuca did not have time to bank his blood, so he had to use quick, old school methods.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

He wants people to concentrate on the cycling and forget danilo's positive for doping.
