    From CyclingNews:

    Santi Perez positive for blood transfusion?
    According to Spanish newspaper Marca, Phonak's Santiago Perez has been
    tested postive for blood transfusion in an out-of-routine doping control,
    said to have been carried out just before or during the Vuelta a España,
    which the 27 year old rider finished second overall. It is yet unknown if
    the sample returned positive for homologous or autologous blood transfusion,
    but it is claimed certain that a counter-analysis has already been
    performed, and also showed evidence of blood transfusion.

    Marca also publishes that the alleged sporting fraud was the reason for
    Perez' non-participation at the 2004 World Championships in Verona, which he
    skipped because of gastroenteritis according to his management. The
    newspaper also attributes the rider's difficulties of renewing his contract
    with the Swiss Phonak team to the positive doping control. The reason why
    the UCI or the Spanish cycling federation haven't issued an official
    statement yet is said to be due to a formality mistake, as neither the rider
    nor a representative of the team were present at the B sample procedure.

    If these allegations prove to be true, Santiago Perez will be the second
    rider in history to be tested positive for blood transfusion, after his
    teammate Tyler Hamilton.

    Were Tyler and Santi roomates? Is it possible they could have used each others blood? Or somehow exchanged bodily fluids.....(the mind boggles).....nah, don't even want to go there.

    Could Tyler and Santi been siamese twins when they were younger (shared a
    blood supply) then separated when they were young??

    Could be a movie of the week special!!

    So if logic serves...

    Perez is guilty, because he is a foreigner (from the USA perspective) and a
    dirty cheater who should be sent to Guantanamo bay with the terrorists.

    Tyler is a nice boy who is being framed and never did it. Infact it was
    probably Perez that framed him... ya, thats the ticket.

    Both are dirty and Phonak obviously have been upto mischief.This is the Festina scandal all over again but instead of EPO , its blood transfusions.A can of worms has been opened this year - i think alot more high profile pro's are going to be exposed sooner or later.We all knew the sport was riddled with drugs , but i think we are going to get quite a shock just how depraved these people are in the pursuit of victory.

    At least we know that there's one clean team--Postal/Discovery (with the
    possible exception of Pavel). ;-)
