Doping Admission

Chiotti admitted to doping in order to win the 1996 World Champsionships in an interview with French magazine Vélo Vert on 23 April 2000.[2] He admitted to spending up to US$6000 per year for EPO. He consequently renounced his World title during a press conference in Paris on 25 May 2000. [3] The official UCI results were amended to reflect Thomas Frischknecht as the winner of the 1996 World Champion title.

gollark: No, they're just really bad, like all LyricTech™'s other hardware. Have you seen their apinators? Mere *hectobees* per second.
gollark: It's not what LyricTech™ would like to think. They'd *like* to think they're cool and amazing, but are actually bad.
