Fassa team reduced to 4, because Aitor Gonzalez, Sven Montgomery and Gustov
did not start and Nicola Loda gave up... what's the matter with them? |

According to cyclingnews.com, the team says the riders got a virus: The Fassa Bortolo team has issued a press statement saying that the reason for six of its riders abandoning in the last two days is a virus that has hit the team. Marco Velo was one of the first to get it, followed by Petacchi who retired yesterday. Then Gonzalez, Gustov, Montgomery and Loda succumbed. That leaves only Basso, Bruseghin and Cioni in the race. -- Mike Iglesias Email: University of California, Irvine phone: 949-824-6926 Network & Academic Computing Services FAX: 949-824-2069 |

Davide Cassani and Auro Bulbarelli, the RAI3 commentators, talked with Ferretti, the Fassa DS, and apparently most of the team came down with some sort of flu. Infact, Petacchi is home in bed with a fever as well. -- David N.

Much as I hate it when other people cast aspersions, anyone remember the
Tour at which the whole PDM team quit, when they used contaminated masking agent (in order to cover up their doping activities)? They tried to claim it was food poisoning at first ...... Stephen |

They tried to claim it was food poisoning at first ...... Get it straight - they were using a perfectly legal compound that they IV'd into their riders. It was supposed to add calories while re-hydrating the riders. Because it contained a sugar it spoiled when unrefrigerated. It gave all of us the willies to think of riders laying there being IV'd after a race is all. But when I was at the jounior nationals in Texas one year most of the front groups were in the medical tent afterwards being re-hydrated with IV's in order to be able to pee into the cup. There must have been twenty riders in there. My middle daughter had to have two bags just to get to the point where she could pee at all. |

Then the other guys got it. -- David N.

Mapei doctor told me they use IV fluids for rehydration because if they try to add back all that fluid through the stomach it dilutes the digestive juices too much. You know Warren, you are a mine of information. That is something I hadn't thought about and probably the reason that I get the runs after a couple of days of hard riding where I end up drinking a great deal of liquids. |
