So, here I am at the office late Friday, winding down for the weekend and wondering if the USCF will find the event permit that we sent for our Oct. 10th Rocktoberfest race when Robin calls and tells me that one of our old teammates who moved to NC a few years ago has just gotten a 2-year suspension after testing positive for EPO at one of the track world cup qualifiers back around the end of February. Quite a surprise, really, since this guy had been progressing nicely over the course of the last three years or so. The news made the front page of the USA Cycling website.
I guess I'll hear the gory details next time I talk with him. Cyclingnews has a statement from him in which he denies ever having taken EPO.
Oh well......
