That was his T/E Ratio, but further testing showed that it wasn't artificial testosterone.Smilf said:Didn't this happen in the Giro?
sopas said:positive for EPO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It this is finally true, then Mayo is a complete idiot!!! One thing is to do as Vino did, a blood transfusion, and another thing is to use EPO which is easily detectable since 2001!!!!

Clips of this are on You Tube. Mayo was absolutely flying up that hill. It was obvious he was juiced.mrfrogger said:Oh man, I liked Mayo. I guess we know how he flew up Alpe d'Huez now...
Note to self: don't get attached to cyclists!
whiteboytrash said:That day on Ventoux a journalist inspected his bike after his historic ride and noticed that he had ripped the crank almost out of its socket ! They had actually drilled metal pins into the crank arm to give it more support..... he put 2 minutes into Armstrong and a 90 seconds into Hamilton... its the single most amazing TT I've ever seen...... drug fueled yes but still amazing...
Gregers said:Why the delay? Did they slow this one up to save further embarrassment or does the EPO test take longer? The other cheats were nailed much quicker.
Crankyfeet said:Since his removal wasn't going to greatly affect the GC standings, they probably waited till after the finish so it wouldn't look so bad and most of the media would have already departed. Sad, but probably true.
You need to look closer at these stories to determine who "they" are when it comes to releasing this information. In this case, shock of all shocks, it appears proper protocol was followed with the lab telling the UCI and the UCI informing the team, with no mention of ASO being involved.Crankyfeet said:Since his removal wasn't going to greatly affect the GC standings, they probably waited till after the finish so it wouldn't look so bad and most of the media would have already departed.

I thought he was pretty good. I liked his technique and when he had Armstrong on the ropes those couple of times he seemed very light on his pedals compared to Armstrong's rather bullish style.tommyadrian5 said:did anybody really think he was good? having one good drug fuelled year doesn't make you class
