French anti-doping chief expects more cases
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) -- The head of the French anti-doping agency says
there is evidence of riders transfusing their own blood during this year's
Tour de France.
Pierre Bordry told ZDF television in Germany that he expected more
positive cases as a result of a new tests designed to detect the procedure.
"We are already in possession of serious indications about own blood
transfusion," Bordry said in the interview broadcast Wednesday.
"We will soon be able to prove own blood transfusions and we will retest
all the samples," he said, according to a transcript provided by ZDF.
Until now, doping tests have been unable to detect blood transfusions
involving an athlete's own blood. The tests can detect transfusions involving
blood from another person.
Using a new lab test, French officials have exposed three riders in the
2008 race -- Stefan Schumacher of Germany and Italy's Riccardo Ricco and
Leonardo Piepoli -- for cheating with CERA, an advanced version of the blood
booster EPO.
About 30 riders are under scrutiny, Bordry said. Blood samples taken from
the riders before the race showed abnormally high readings. Some remained
high during the race but for some riders the readings dropped during the
tour.
"We were surprised to see how weak their performances were then," Bordry
told ZDF.
