EPO? I don't use the stuff
19 year old French non-pro rider got caught during a Kermesse race in France.
Apparently the test lab found 12 banned substances in his body:
3'HydroxyStanozolol, 16B-HydroxyStanozolol, 4B-HydroxyStanozolol, 4-Meyhylhexaneamine, Prednisone, Prednisolone, Oxandrolone, Epioxandrolone, Tuaminoheptane, Triamcinolone Acetonide, 6B-HydroxyMethandienone and 17-Epiméthandienone
The report doesn't state if he won the race. LInk to article on CN webbie.

No, no, sweetie...
it’s a prohibited list, not a shopping list.

This is like a story in itself
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuaminoheptane
Tuaminoheptane (or tuamine) is a nasal decongestant drug which is a sympathomimetic stimulant and vasoconstrictor. However, it can cause skin irritation, which limits its usefulness as a nasal decongestant. Side effects can include acute glaucoma, tachycardia and hypertension.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triamcinolone_acetonide
Triamcinolone acetonide is a synthetic corticosteroid used to treat various skin conditions and to relieve the discomfort of mouth sores. It is a more potent type of triamcinolone, being about 8 times as effective as prednisone.

Easily explained.
He was recently a patient at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. He was treated for the 5 incorrect diagnoses that House and his team always go through before they find the correct one and cure him. I mean, they pretty much always go through Lupus and Sarcoidoisis and give Prednisone.

must have been tainted steak,
french riders are clean.
"Ants don’t worry, they operate like a fantastic team, they accept obstacles and deal with them in a positive manner, they don’t complain and remain positive. An ant doesn’t work on emotion, is proactive and always chooses the ant role."
Well, they don't use EPO...
…being resistant to modern training methods and whatnot.

This guy's at it.
But it does go to show how easy it is to dope inadvertently (as I’ve pointed out to old followers of the bbc cycling board in the past).
I’ve been prescribed Prednisolone and used it whilst a competing sportsperson, on two different occasions.
true
and there are a good few cases of authorised suppliments combining in the body to produce “positives”. though this guy would have had to swallow a serious load to produce those results!
Dang
I thought I said stupid shit when I was 19…

Clearly the bar has been raised since then
Or lowered… whatever.
