    www.cyclingnews.com
    Victorian track cyclist Robert Wilson has become the first Australian cyclist to test positive for EPO, following an out of competition test on May 15 this year.

    Rumours of the positive result had circulated in the Australian cycling community for some time. The national cycling body was informed in late June of the test results and today, the CEO of Cycling Australia, Graham Fredericks, confirmed to Cyclingnews that Wilson had tested positive.

    Later in the day Cycling Australia issued an official release stating that Wilson will serve a two-year suspension. It was understood that a delay in announcing the positive test was a result of improper treatment of the rider's B sample, but the test results have finally indicated the presence of the performance-enhancing blood doping agent EPO (erythropoietin).

    It's understood that Wilson has expressed remorse for his actions and has retired from the sport. However, the case may still be the subject of further scrutiny, as several sources in the Victorian cycling community told Cyclingnews that investigations are continuing into how Wilson acquired the EPO, and more importantly, from whom. Cyclingnews understands that the potential fallout from the alleged supplier may be far greater than his suspension.

    The full story is at cyclingnews.com I wonder who the alleged supplier is? 🙄

  2. Maybe from Warnie? 😄
