As I watched the Giro d'Italia this past May - riding on a trainer at night during numerous stages - I watched one of my favorite cyclists riding aggressively, forcefully, and darn near winning the race. Danilo DiLuca. Heck, my daughter even started following DiLuca because she loved the fact that he had to wear pink spandex as the race leader, and it was fun pronouncing his name. So, it comes as no surprise today that DiLuca tested positive for performance-enhancing CERA twice during the Giro. "The Killer" as he's strangely referred to since he's all of 5'6" and a buck thirty soaking wet, had made a huge comeback at the Giro - and obviously it was, well, too huge.
It may never end even when Lance comes clean some day. They always do. The guilt, it's just too much to take. Rebellin, Hamilton, Kohl, Riis, Ricco, Andreau, Ullrich, Valverde, Heras, Mancebo, Pantani, Millar, Virenque, Basso, even poster boy Eric Zabel.....just to name a few. And Lance crushed them all for 8 straight years with a high Vo2, carmichael training, and a bit of luck.
