Ricco admits to EPO and suggests test failure

At least he's honest - eventually. Riccò has withdrawn his request to have a counter-analysis done on the B-sample, but said that the testing procedure needed some work. "Of the 10 controls taken, only two were positive. In theory all the tests should have been positive, therefore the method needs to be checked," he said.

I guess the tests need a bit of work, then? On this basis maybe a few other riders, other than those lucky enough to not get tested, slipped the net. (Bearing in mind the biological passports will help, but only if no-exceptions longitudinal analysis is done.)
