Three, Velo also quit yesterday. Letour narration today has it wrong. Food poisoning given as
reason. Shoulda kept it in the fridge I guess.

According to cyclingnews.com, the team says the riders got a virus:
The Fassa Bortolo team has issued a press statement saying that the reason for six of its riders
abandoning in the last two days is a virus that has hit the team. Marco Velo was one of the first
to get it, followed by Petacchi who retired yesterday. Then Gonzalez, Gustov, Montgomery and Loda
succumbed. That leaves only Basso, Bruseghin and Cioni in the race.

Davide Cassani and Auro Bulbarelli, the RAI3 commentators, talked with Ferretti, the Fassa DS, and
apparently most of the team came down with some sort of flu. Infact, Petacchi is home in bed with a
fever as well.

Much as I hate it when other people cast aspersions, anyone remember the Tour at which the whole PDM
team quit, when they used contaminated masking agent (in order to cover up their doping activities)?
They tried to claim it was food poisoning at first ......

The moral of the story is: don't eat at local restaurants. Did you see the article somewhere about
USPS having their own chef and he brings all of the food with him to prevent such occurrences?

Get it straight - they were using a perfectly legal compound that they IV'd into their riders. It
was supposed to add calories while re-hydrating the riders. Because it contained a sugar it spoiled
when unrefrigerated.
It gave all of us the willies to think of riders laying there being IV'd after a race is all.
But when I was at the jounior nationals in Texas one year most of the front groups were in the
medical tent afterwards being re-hydrated with IV's in order to be able to pee into the cup. There
must have been twenty riders in there. My middle daughter had to have two bags just to get to the
point where she could pee at all.

Who knows... could be something like that. OTOH, Marco Velo was already feeling bad a couple of days
ago and dropped out. Then the other guys got it.

Mapei doctor told me they use IV fluids for rehydration because if they try to add back all that
fluid through the stomach it dilutes the digestive juices too much.

You know Warren, you are a mine of information. That is something I hadn't thought about and
probably the reason that I get the runs after a couple of days of hard riding where I end up
drinking a great deal of liquids.
