Mayo Positive for EPO

I am officially disgusted with professional cycling.  Today’s news is that Spanish rider Iban Mayo tested positive for EPO during the final week of the Tour de France. Doping allegations and suspicions have devastated the 2007 Tour, which ended Sunday, withn three riders, including former overall leader Michael Rasmussen, and two teams were expelled during the three-week race.Mayo’s Saunier Duval team was told of the results of the July 24 test by cycling’s governing body and “immediately suspended” Mayo, according to a statement posted on the team’s Web site.  A second test is needed to confirm the initial positive result for Mayo, who finished 16th in cycling’s biggest event.

Let’s kick them out of cycling for two years and take away their annual pay.
