 BBC SPORT | Other Sport | Cycling | Cyclists 'cheat dope tests'
Cyclists have rendered advances in drug testing meaningless with methods designed to evade controls, according to the French rider Philippe Gaumont.
The test only works if the drug has been used within the previous three days, so EPO is used only when a cyclist knows he will not be tested.
He added: "The haematocrit [blood thickness count] of a cyclist coming to the Tour [de France] can drop from 50% to 44 or 45 after a week.

 BLOOD TESTING FOR PROFESSIONAL CYCLISTS
Federation Internationale de Ski (FIS) and the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) have implemented random blood tests prior to competition to deter the alleged use of DNA-recombinant human erythropoetin (rhEPO), a hormone known to increase the rate of red blood cell production.
If a cyclist has a blood volume of 6.0 liters and a hematocrit when sitting of 49%, then the blood would be composed of 2.94 liters of red blood cells and 3.06 liters of plasma.
If the cyclist stands for 30 minutes and undergoes a 6% reduction in plasma volume, hematocrit would now rise to 50.5% and under the new UCI ruling the cyclist would be disqualified.

 A Review of the UCI's Policies on Illegal Performance Enhancing Drugs
Reports of Swiss cyclists using PFC have surfaced, and one cyclist, Mauro Gianetti, had to be taken to the hospital because of alleged PFC usage.
Thirty cyclists, all from the top three teams found with drugs, were tested and only one showed signs of PFC consumption.
While some cyclists believe that the UCI is out to get drug-using cyclists, in reality, it is out to protect the health of the riders.

 Accountability of Private Parties
In Walrave and Koch v Association Union Cycliste Internationale [13] the Court applied to private parties the articles of the Treaty prohibiting discrimination based upon nationality in general (article 7 EEC), in employment (article 48) and in the provision of services (article 59).
Moreover, the relevance or legitimacy of employing economic theory is supported by the Commission's use of this form of analysis in evaluating the impact of the 1992 programme for the removal of trade barriers.
Standard theory [71] divides the advantages to be derived from moving from this position to a customs union into the static and dynamic.

[67] The Treaty states that the Community shall be based upon a customs union (article 9, the first provision of the Title dealing with the free movement of goods).
This will lead to trade diversion, the re-allocation of imports from the rest of the world to partner States which are less efficient, but are protected by external tariffs.

 Guardian Unlimited Sport | Cycling | Cycling: Does cycling take its drug problem seriously enough?
Cycling's governing body, the UCI, does indeed take this issue seriously; seriously enough to tackle banned drug use on three fronts, which are interconnected: prevention, control and repression, and anticipation.
In 2000, we introduced the "health booklet", which obliges professional cyclists to write down all medicines they use which may contain products on the banned list and that can be used only under certain conditions (for example: beta-mimetics, corticosteroids).
This forces the athletes to be open, and can be used for education by giving the example of top athletes' clean booklets to those who are using many medicines.

Olympic cycling champion Tyler Hamilton of the U.S. was suspended yesterday by his Phonak team, which said it would fire him if he can't prove he is innocent of blood doping.
Cycling's ruling body, the Union Cycliste Internationale or UCI, and the IOC told Phonak that a medical screening in Athens proved Hamilton had "transferred" blood, the statement said.
Hamilton was told last week that a follow-up test taken after the Sept. 11 stage of the Tour of Spain confirmed the result.
