Aketza denies doping


Aketza Peña has denied ever taking any performance enhancing products. According to Basque daily el Diario Vasco, Aketza will now head for Bilbao to speak to Euskaltel chiefs Miguel Madariaga and Igor Gonzalez de Galdeano. "Before making any decisions, we want to speak to him and request explanations. First we will listen to him, and then also find out what numbers the test detected. At the moment, we don`t know much", Igor said. Igor was also worried about the timing of the positive test, coming just a month prior to the Tour. More on this case later...

  1. Here we go again.
    I agree with you that we should wait and see.
    Also, Nandralone? It's for body builders, no? Not cyclists...

    Nandrolone is often used by cyclists. It helps to increase your muscle mass. For example Álvaro González de Galdeano used it in 2000.
