Ricco told a french magazine (l'acheteur cycliste) a year ago that a dozen of riders were positive for CERA (not 48), and a french guy among them (Moreau ? I would love that)
guys who performed well that year are Van deVelde, Kim Kirchen.Le breton said:Moreau?
Me too

Judging by the results of the Giro that year, it was pretty obvious Di Luca, Ricco, Piepoli and Simoni had something the other were missing (Garzelli, Cunego)
In the Tour I don't know, maybe Contador, but behind him and chicken, the others were more believable than in the Giro

and High Road?BroDeal said:They caught way too few people in 2008. This stuff had been used for several years and everyone thought it was undetectable. It makes no sense that only a handful of riders were using it.
There was that persistent rumor that nearly the entire CSC squad tested positive for it.
what you mean Willis?Ferminal said:Tony Martin = Grabsch?
Ferminal said:Yeh, was Dynepo already detectable in 2007?
staubsauger said:Il falco is a good bet. Suddenly came back from nothing in 2005 where he took benefits from his itt, his downhill and his solid recovery. When more and more guys began to use Cera from 2006 on, he even lost his captain position to Astana to Mazzoleni. Mazzoleni the friend of Santuccione and lover of Basso's sister.
spalco said:You guys make it sound like CERA is some kind of super-epo, but reading the description on wikipedia I can't find what makes it so special compared to other variants other than lasting longer (which might mean it's detectable longer too?).
Or are you saying that other riders stopped using EPO during that time because of fear of getting tested?
Old team mates from Akud consider him clean although nobody is 100% sure of course.Miburo said:Gerdeman was getting ripped apart though after his yellow jersey in that tour.
His last good result is (iirc) winning the last tour of germany against the likes of brajkovic in 2008.
CERA has a longer half life than α, β, Darbo et al. Other than that it's just EPO without any special qualities.spalco said:You guys make it sound like CERA is some kind of super-epo, but reading the description on wikipedia I can't find what makes it so special compared to other variants other than lasting longer (which might mean it's detectable longer too?).

If it was so much more effective, your blood values would have exploded. Hb is Hb and Hb mass is Hb mass.Gregga said:CERA stimulates your red cells production all the time you've got it in your bloodstream, in 2007-2008 it was much more effective than "normal" EPO that could only be used by microdoses at night... until it was detected...
del1962 said:Could someone explain how Ricco would have knowledge of these 48 tests without it having come out through another source
If Ricco really wan't to be relevent he should do what FLandis did, a full story of his drug story.
