Whatever his motives for admitting he used EPO, it's good to see that he came clean.

It is refreshing to see such candor. I hope he is accepted back as a "reformed sinner" when his suspension is over.

He's a local guy and did a local race just before that. He walked away from the field, caught and dropped the break group. We all thought it was all his training. I would say he'll stay clean as his "big" days are over. He certainly was pretty good before. I'd like to hear the rest of the story, like how pervasive it is and where he got the stuff. Not an exact address, but where and how do atheletes obtain such things. Funny spinoff is that other local atheletes are also hinted at as users because of association and I can tell you those guys really aren't that good or need a refund as they didn't get the good stuff. But it just needs mentioning as doping becomes suspect every time someone puts in a good ride, and that's another sad issue.

It isn't exactly a mystery who to get EPO from if you are a bicycle racer from Minnesota.

Pray tell...

The only outfit or person that I know of in Minnesota, that has a connection to cycling is Steve Hed. Do you have first hand knowledge of such things?

Canadian mail order pharmacies? Or a quick trip across the border?

I am sure in Arizona if I took a trip to Mexico I could easily get some EPO.

Isn't there some famous cyclist who lives in Minnesota? I understand he has a couple of virtual TdF wins...
