If there was one clean rider...

That is an extract from an interview in Helden. Its one of those compulsary interviews when starting up a new cycling team that is clean. I don't know if you can read it without a blendle subscription.

Breukink started flying uphil and in time trials after joining Panasonic as a young rider. Indeed he has a simmilar career descent like Lemond and Chiappucci. I would not be surprised if Panasonic was one of the early EPO teams.

Breukink remains a sheer miracle! He certainly took Epo at PDM chrome tapes and went off the juice after the “intralipid-affair“.

Anything else is up to one's speculation and only Breukink himself knows the real truth!

went off the full *** juice, toned it down, definitely.
I'd pay to learn more about his PED program pre- and post-intralipid.
it could be very informative.

@tienus: thanks, but no, can't read it.
anyway, crazy to think he was the last dutchman to wear yellow, in 1989.

I don't know if he toned it down. It could be just that other riders (Ferrari clients) where suddenly going much faster. That would explain the similar decline of Lemond, Breukink and Chiappucci.

Other Once starlets still climbed well enough. I give him the favor in that matter.
