Listen Willy, you’d better go on back roads, “was the first tip. The year was 1998 when the Festina team doctor made ​​the recommendation to the assistant Willy Voet. Why worry if Voet simply wearing material destined port of Calais at the start of the Tour de France, that started that year from Dublin? The car was a bomb. The traveling bag 400 doses of illegal products, especially EPO, the queen then, the magical potion undetectable. But Voet understood it was a formality. “What I was going to pass. We thought we were untouchable! It could go 200 kilometers on a highway and you salvabas giving him a jersey (shirt) the policeman on duty, “he said at the time the daily As. And made ​​the trip this July 8, the day before the Tour. In Neuville-en-Ferrain , a town on the French-Belgian border, was waiting crouched customs police. They went straight to the bag.

When they discover that an athlete tests stopped creating cells, light alarms. The detection method is Australian: measures the amount of reticulocytes, young red blood cells. If not, suspect. Of course, for every law there is a catch. The micro doses of EPO. The doctors believe that cheaters are undetectable.Its footprint disappears soon. So if 2000 units of EPO injected before, now reach 200. A drop in the blood stream. Although sufficient to arouse the production of red blood cells. And it confuses the controls.
