Thursday, July 02, 2009 L'Equipe says more doping cases to follow by VeloNation Press at 11:54 AM EST   comments Categories: Pro Cycling, Tour de France, Doping   L'Equipe, known for their inside track on positive doping results, has said that there could be four to seven more doping cases from samples taken at the Tour of Romandie and the Tour de Suisse. They said they are not biological passport cases, but from positive controls taken during the two races. UCI spokesman Enrico Carpani did not deny the possibility telling the German press agency dpa, "I cannot confirm that there will be further riders prevented from starting the Tour because of positive doping tests." Dutchman Thomas Dekker was caught yesterday with a positive control for EPO from a 2007 sample that was re-tested because of irregularities in the cyclist's biological passport, according to the UCI.       comments Follow @Pro_Cycling Tweet Subscribe via RSS or daily email Contact the editor about this article
