Kohl admits to doping from 2005 onwards #cycling

What seemed to be a case of crash-and-recover-quicker-with-"insert drug here" has become more of a whole-of-pro-career effort. Full details here: Bernhard Kohl, winner of the mountains classification and third overall at the Tour de France, told investigators the names of all the people who helped him dope. The Austrian included the name of the person who provided him the blood booster CERA-EPO for which he tested positive for at the Tour de France, he said at a press conference Tuesday evening in Vienna, Austria.

It will be hard to come back from here, surely. Not hard to feel some sympathy though for someone who was clearly sucked into a toxic vortex of deceit at a young - but adult - age.
