New doping book gaumont

MJtje

Oke pffffff this is sad.........here is source: sporza.be

I'm translating now....The book is called 'prisoner dopage' and it is out on 7th of june but La Derniere Heure looked allready in the book for some interesting stuff......and interesting it is!

He has a full chapter about Franck Vandenbroucke he says: We both used 'Pot Belge'. The family of FB ordered him not to take dope with gaumont, but it was FB self who bought doping.

After this he got addicted to a few doping products and he was getting really paranoia!

Gaumont also talks about planckaert: In the spring of 2003 Planckaert advised gaumont to not take oxyhemoglobine (synthetic red bloodcells??).

'He (planckaert) used it a few weeks before paris-roubaix, but said he got a stomach bug/pain. (HA now we know why there are so many stomach bugs )

Plackaert apparently said this to Gaumont: During the teamdoctor Jean-Jacques Menuet was preparing the infuse, he said to gaumont it was a product for animals.....

He started in 1994 and later he started with amfetamines, also FOR training. For the tour 1998 (doping-tour) they were prepared by Cofidis by the Italian team doctor Vezzani

The one who got epo and growthhormones were: gaumont, B. Julich, Laurent Desbiens, K. Livingston and Cristophe Rinero. (these are serious accusations probably he will get sued very hard)

He continues: we were so high. He saw D. Millar and other english riders of Cofidis completely stoned. They had taken sleeppills and tablets efedrine which they crushed and they took like coke by the nose (sorry for my bad translation I think you get the point).

Gaumont als got payed by other teams for working for them. He says: 'during paris-nice of 2003 his teammate kivilev died from a nasty fall. His best friend Vinokoerov, who rode for telekom, was gunning for overall.

When there was an escape, gaumont asked his teamboss if they needed to help telekom in getting the people who got escaped.

Gaumonts teamboss negotiated quickly with telekom and they (cofidis) got 3000 euro a DAY for helping telekom! The press didn't know and talked about a nice thing of cofidis to do.....he implies it was all planned.

That was it.......sorry for my bad translation sometimes. But I think you'll get the point! No words for this.....very sad......and there will be a lot of suing going on.

lol someone else wrote about this too. He said pretty much what you did, but i'll paste it anyway to add further strength to it

MJtje

tnx.......that translation is a little better

What I continue to be amazed by is how little of what they were taking was really to enhance performance. Kind of reminds me of the movie "Spun" with John Leguizamo about a bunch of speed freaks.

Procycling.com today:

One of the few extracts published in the Belgian press today that we can (due to legal restrictions) talk about in detail describes how the Cofidis team ended up working for the Telekom team during Paris-Nice in 2003.

Huh who is behind that.......how come all belgian sites and news paper post it and procycling not?? Someone probably called them that if they post they'll get sued!

I liked the way cyclingnews didn't mention any names in their report, to prevent getting sued LOL

You will find the editor/owner of CyclingNews is very balanced when reporting to the point of omission.

They are cognizant that an element of their readership could never entertain any implication that their heroes are into PED's.

The originator of CyclingNews (Bill) sold to the current owner because he dared publish a report from a French newspaper about a certain rider. Bill then became the concerted target of this rider's fans to drive him out of business. They wrote to CyclingNews advertisers requesting withdrawal of advertising and even Bill's main employer, a university, requesting his dismissal.

So the news on the book like I said.......FB and planckaert are going to sue! The others will probably follow next! No reaction of the rest of the american riders.....julich riding in america now and livingston retired at the end of 2002.

What university was it? Some states have public records laws that would permit a citizen access to a letter like that, if the university was a state university.

I must admit, something doesn't sound quite right about this claim. What kind of idiot pro rider would write a letter requesting a university administration fire an employee because the rider disliked that the employee had reprinted an article already in the public domain in a French newspaper? There are very few universities which would even think about engaging in that kind of censorship, much less on the basis of an unsolicited letter landing on the desk of an administrator from a professional bike racer in a foreign country.

Could you add some detail here to make this add up?
