The deaths of Draaijer, Oosterbosch and Connie Meyer were not related to EPO use but somehow they became part of that myth. It is strange people can keep on hammering on 20 DEATHS IN HOLLAND AND BELGIUM with na actual evidence whatsoever.
The reaction of Draaijers widow, not too long ago.I am the widow of John Draaijer and wants a correction is posted on the story of John. There are lies and misinformation in the story . You must properly perform your research before saying things that are not true . The biggest nonsense that I would have said that John had used EPO . Der Spiegel Well ... NEVER . I have never talked to Der Spiegel , and I would not say that because it is not true . Also that no autopsy was performed . REALLY DO ! ! I wanted to know what a man could kill in his prime at age 27 It was a heart defect (congenital ) recorded six weeks before his death by Dr . Huyge ( eminent cardiologist ) in Eindhoven with his approval . They just did not think it could be fatal. John was " pure nature " and used nothing . In fact, he was in the room with Raoul Alcala at the Three Days of Dunkirk and I was there. They received each day after the race a syringe . Vitamins said the support worker . Both John and Raoul injected him into the mattress ( the syringe was later checked whether he was or was not used) . John was an honest living for his passion . Not sully his name with inaccuracies .
