In General, Podcasts

I received an email today from listener John who wanted to point out that I made a mistake in my reporting of the facts of the Frankie Andreu EPO story in Show #33. John pointed out that I incorrectly stated that Frankie and another teammate on the 1999 U.S. Postal Service team used EPO “several times during the race” (meaning the Tour de France). That is not correct, and I regret and apologize for the misstatement.

The correct statement is that Frankie has admitted to using EPO leading up to the race.

This wasn’t intentional, it was just a misstatement pure and simple. I will be certain to also correct this at the very beginning of the next show for those listeners who may not visit the web site on a regular basis.
My thanks to listener John for pointing out this misstatement of the facts.
