"US Postal Service rider George Hincapie is recovering from the health problems that have scuppered
his early season, according to his management company Sotox Sports. Hincapie has been suffering from
parasitic and respiratory infections and has been treated by a team of doctors and nutritional
experts including a macrobiotic chef to prepare meals, a hematologist, a pathologist, and a

"Sotox Sports medical Director William Pettis said, "George is experiencing a remarkable recovery
following the diagnosis of a respiratory infection compounded by a co-existing parasitic infection.
He currently is being aggressively treated using a balanced combination of methods from Eastern and
Western medicine. His condition has dramatically improved, while undergoing moderate training, since
the recent initiation of these treatments. I expect him to soon enjoy a full and rapid recovery."
Hincapie has begun training again at his home in South Carolina and says he is looking forward to
getting back to racing. "It has been a real tough time for me," said Hincapie, "but in the last week
I have noticed improvement. I am optimistic that I can return to the peloton within a month or so.
Ready to race!"
