The rumors are that three or four CSC members are being tested.

Today the first three results were supposed to be known. So far they are running two positives out of three. That is a great hit rate. Two or three positives on CSC will a huge scandal.

No question, but the Schleck positive leads me to believe that perhaps Blood doping (rather than CERA) is CSC's method of choice. Meaning that CSC probably wouldn't have many positives.

I'm no expert, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Maybe. But Fuentes is out of business and cost a lot when he was in business. It also looks like a few years ago CSC shut down whatever internal doping program they had, and their riders were left to use outside services. Different riders might be doing different things.

Supposedly CERA is sold in Spain over the counter, no prescription needed. If the peloton knew that it could not be tested for and you only need to inject it once every couple of weeks, it would be very tempting and a lot easier than transfusions. There were probably tons of riders using it this year.
