The true story is that cocoa leaves produce the same metabolites as cocaine and Simoni later proved that the positive came from cocoa leaves not cocaine. He also took a hair test to show that there was no previous cocaine usage. As outlandish as the excuse sounds, it seems like he was telling the truth. It sure beats blaming the lab for anti-Italian conspiracies.whiteboytrash said:
Everyone is getting worked up about the fact that Disco hired Basso. But look who else they hired at the end of last season:
Contador, Paulinho, Davis. All of these three were also implicated in Puerto as well, but no one seems to be kicking up much of a fuss about them.

Fair enough. No one cares that Michele Scarponi is implicated either! But none of those riders were recruited with the expectation that they would win the Giro-Tour double either.Eldrack said:
