Dutch cyclist Thomas Dekker announced on Wednesday that counter-analysis has confirmed his positive test for blood booster Erythropoietin (EPO).

He "acknowledges that he has made a mistake, he takes full responsibility". "Thomas Dekker regrets his mistake; he will apologise and be held accountable, where possible."

.....

Dekker said the drug use was a one-time mistake and that he wants to return to cycling to prove he achieved his past results because of his talent and his teams' help.

Yeah, we've heard that before: "It was a one time mistake. I can win without the juice". Just look at Millar and Basso. (exactly!)
