This could be interesting. Nobody will be surprised if a few field athletes crop up but there might be a few more quaking in their Nike track boots. Usain Bolt anyone?

They're specifically testing for CERA, so as Boltz isn't an 'edurance' altlete I wouldn't have expected to take that.

True. Marion Jones tested +ve for epo though

I thought I'd get in there before Cunobelin or the French did.

I guess the GB squands samples will be in the mix, and probably near the top since they dominated the track and womens road events.

I'd be v.v. suprised if there were any GB +ve's tho.

Cooke won't even share a room with anyone who injects themselves (quite a lot of riders have regular injections of B vitamins etc).
