No, no, no. It is only when he decides to 'find himself' with winter training far, far away, in places like Mexico. Then he is unbeatable...

So he got tested after the stage, that was normal, then he diluted his blood back at the hotel, which the surprise Coni test that evening picked up. But why did he dilute his blood that evening, was he just rehydrating? |

Re: 2 Year Ban For Di Luca
Rider get dehydrated when using EPO. Dehydratation reduces drastically athlete's performances (without EPO), if the body lost 1l of fluid the performance decreases around 10% !
For "fighting" sports like boxe or judo, often athletes need to lost weight but after the weigh-in they just drink a lot of water and mineral salt. They never need a saline transfusion even after a gain of 3kg ! Saline IV in cycling is needed by an elaborated doping program |

Re: 2 Year Ban For Di Luca
This is all very interesting. Why are they chastising only DiLuca, when Simoni, Piepoli, Mazzoleni, and Ricco' also were found with low hormone levels after the Zoncolon stage of the 2007 Giro? Many of the other gc riders were not tested that day. It was a surprise test supposedly. Didn't Andy Shleck finish second in the gc?

The tests were ordered by CONI. They only tested Italian riders. |

And most would think "abnormally low level of hormones, akin to a child's" would be perfectly normal in Andy:  |

Re: 2 Year Ban For Di Luca
Cunego aka "the little prince" was not tested that day. The favoritism shown toward him at the giro presentations the last few years has been far from subtle. DiLuca for some reason is not a favorite with the Italian organizers. Why did Liquigas really not resign him? The elimination of Garzelli's team, shows that he also has no friends up high. Simoni of course is a nephew of Moser, so I guess him and his teammates are untouchable.

I'm stupid. I don't get it. How is putting a liter of saline into your blood going to reduce hormone levels so much in a blood test? We are talking blood tests aren't we? I don't want to think about adding liquid to your bladder to fool a urine test.
