First EPO Positive Test

Bo Hamburger of the CSC World Online team is the first rider to test positive with the UCI's controversial EPO test. He was immediately suspended by manager Bjarne Riis. It is interesting to note that Hamburger's positive did not result in the dropping of CSC by the Tour de France (as has been the case in other years, with other squads). A cynical person might attribute it to the fact that Frenchman Laurent Jalabert's is with CSC, but we won't go there...
