Oh no... Killer may have "killed" his cycling career.
I am skeptical of any positive result from a French lab :wall:
From Velonews:
Danilo Di Luca tested positive for EPO during the Tour of Italy, in which he placed second, the UCI said Wednesday.
The 33-year-old LPR team leader, who is not competing in the Tour de
France, won two stages of the Giro and wore the leader's pink jersey for eight
days. He finished second overall 41 seconds behind Rabobank's Denis Menchov.
Di Luca was due to take part in the Brixia Tour in Italy on Thursday and had been targeting the world championships at the end of September in Mendrisio, Switzerland.
