He was interviewed on some talk show this morning (Today maybe) and said that EPO wasn't made illegal for them until 2001 and the sample they are talking about was from 1999. He also said that they test you each time you get the yellow shirt as well as at the beginning and end of each race, and some random times tossed in as well. He said there are sometimes 80 samples per race with the Tour de France. This drug stays in your system for a couple months so it should have shown up in every single sample of his, not just a couple. He also said it shouldn't be left over from his chemo, because that was in '98. He seemed pretty straightforward about the whole thing.
