A friend just send me this translation:
"I saw them (Millar and the other english speaking riders on Cofidis)
totally 'lit'. They would sniff lines of powder that they would make by
mixing sleeping pills (Stilnox) with ephedrine. They would have fun by
going from room to room by way of the balcony, eight stories up. I
think Vezzani (an Italien doctor hired by Cofidis) came to the team in
May of 1998. We were in the middle of full on preparation for the Tour
de France and started taking care of the riders who were going to do
the race. That included, among others, Julich, Livingston, Rinero,
Desbiens and me. From Italy he'd send us express mail packages that
contained EPO and growth hormone, all wraped in cold packs. We'd get
the products along with instrcutions on how to use them."
Rinero, Julich, and Desbiens, they were never very good after 1998,
except for Julich now that he's with Riis.
