04:39 PM: Another doper takes out another sponsor
Heating and air conditioning manufacturer Saunier Duval has formally announced that it will immediately cease its sponsorship of the cycling team that bears its name. The news comes after the team pulled out of the Tour de France when its team leader Ricardo Ricco tested positive for a new form of EPO, a Continuous Erythropietin Receptor Activator.
Meanwhile, L'Equipe reports that Ricco's roommate, Leonardo Piepoli has admitted using CERA, a drug that he and others thought was undetectable
