Report: Mario Cipollini Was A Fuentes Client - BikeRadar
On Sunday, Gazzetta reported more details of what it says was Fuentes' programme for Mario Cipollini, who is said to have gone under the code name “Maria”. The build-up to the 2001 Giro d'Italia included nine consecutive days of EPO, followed by a blood transfusion, growth hormone and more EPO – for a total of 13,000 units of the latter. Further, according to the notes, the sprinter received a transfusion on May 19, the first stage of the race.
Things picked up in 2002, becoming “more complex and sophisticated,” according to Gazzetta. As outlined in the previous article, Cipollini is said to have had 13 blood bags, amongst other preparations, on his way to his victories in Milan-San Remo and the Worlds in Zolder.
But that was nothing compared to 2003, although the doping scheme for that season actually started in December 2002 when two units of blood were removed. January saw further blood removals and re-infusions, as well as 11 days of hormone treatment, with a similar pattern in February.
He is said to have received a final transfusion three days before Milan-San Remo, making a total of 16 bags in the early part of the season. He received up to nine more before the start of the Giro in early May.
