According to L’Equipe, police have determined that Ciprelli made further purchases of EPO, at least two in 2010 and three last year, breaking French law about the importation of dangerous substances. Two invoices totalling approximately 500 euros have been obtained by police in relation to the 2011 purchases, identifying the substance as Eprex, a brand of EPO, and implicating Ciprelli via his bank account.

Joe, for Chrissakes, stick to online porn. I know you're bored, but... ;)

BTW, Longo really owes Birotte and CAS a massive favor. A massive umbrella of non-interest in her situation this week.

He should just man-up and take the hit. Tell all and let the pieces fall where they may. Longo's legacy is what it is and like JoePa (RIP) i don't know if she deserves to go out on her own terms at the Olympics or if they should call time on her career now.

If he sells out Longo there goes her future income from talking, coaching appearances etc....which he might be party too if he patches everything up with her.

I wonder how many female riders are looking back at the races where Longo won and thinking "B*tch doped, no wonder she won at 40, 45 and 50"

yeah not a pleasant situation. the adultery is more offensive to me than the PED use. :rolleyes:
 
For his own use !

Loving it ! How old is he - 60 ? Got to be up there with Rumsas - wife states car full of epo was for her personal use - husband cyclist, no he never touches the stuff - and the late Vandenbroucke - the EPO is for FIDO, he is not well !

Longo - Confirmed,
Pitel - not on the scene long enough for usage to be confirmed.

What was going through Ciprelli's head as he thought about popping the question?

If I ask her if she wants some epo, she is going to ask me if longo uses it. If I say "no", she will say - why the hell do you ask me if I want it then, am I rubbish by comparrision to the great Jeannie ? If I say "yes", she can put me and Jeannie in the papers any day she wants. How is that going to play out in our relationship in the comming months. Great if he has no plans for ever getting back with Jeannie, but if he was two timing, not a chance in hell he was going to leave somebody with a lighted torch standing by his wooden bridges, with him on the far side.

The only way would be if she asks first and he denies ever supplying Longo. Not likely.

Joe have you heard anything from Ciprelli's lawer -

".....In a statement made by his lawyer, Bruno Ravaz, Ciprelli accused the newspaper L'Equipe of having faked the documents in which the purchase of 80,000 iu of EPO is being discussed.

"Patrice Ciprelli formally denies any implication. To him, they are crude fakes and so he may resort to filing suit in this affair," said the statement

or does Ciprelli use the same legal office as the UCI in their claims on Landis. You couldn't make it up.

I'm sure, when it reaches that point they don't really care about the fans

he should have bought her some botox instead of EPO.

Anyway, isn't Longo the most tested female athlete ever?
Perhaps even the most tested athlete, period, topping even Animalfarmstrong?

Not nice... you can make fun of the stupidness of EPO and cheating but fgs everyone here on this forum will have wrinkles some day...:eek:
