How can you know if allegations are BS? The allegations of Armstrong's assistant are more likely to be true IMO than Lance's allegations that he never used performance enhancers. He has a lot more to gain in making false allegations than his assistant.

Ullrich tested positive for amphetamines on June 12 in an unannounced out-of-competition test while in rehab for a knee injury that had forced him to skip this year's Tour de France. Since the drugs weren't regarded as performance-enhancing, he was slapped with half the maximum suspension by the federation.

The Spanish arm of Liberty Mutual will stop sponsoring one of Spain's premier cycling squads, after the team's director was arrested in connection with a blood doping probe.

Jan Ullrich was among Fuentes' clients, along with about 200 others

Like Basso, Ullrich denies receiving medical support from Cecchini, but says the doctor has assisted with his training. In any case, Ullrich said on the T-Mobile web site: “I have never worked together with Fuentes.”

Switzerland's own Sascha Urweider has given a sample that tested positive for illegal levels of testosterone.

The team, which has lost Santiago Perez, Tyler Hamilton, and Oscar Camenzind to doping suspensions in the last two years, has suspended Urweider until his B sample comes back.

Spain's Roberto Heras has been banned for two years for EPO.

Fassa Bortolo's Dario Frigo won't be starting Stage 11, after police found erythropoietin (EPO) in his wife's car.

Kelme rider Jesus Manzano says he has revealed doping techniques used by cyclists in a broadcast interview to be aired soon.
Manzano's former teammate Javier Pascual Llorente tested positive for EPO at last year's Tour, and is currently serving an 18-month ban from racing.

"It's like an open bar when it comes to growth hormones, and you get injected with EPO (erythropoietin) almost every day," said the 25-year-old Spaniard in the second part of his interview with AS.

urine test results for Cofidis riders were positive for cocaine, cortisone, and EPO:

Four riders -- Daniel Majewski, Marek Rutkiewicz, Robert Sassone and Philippe Gaumont

"Philippe Gaumont has admitted to doping," his lawyer Olivier Combe said. "He also explained some unfortunate things that are happening in the (cycling) system."

Philippe Gaumont detailed how he and other riders subverted drug controls while racing.
