UCI CONTINUES RESTRUCTURING PROFESSIONAL CYCLING
The International Cycling Union has continued with their plans to restructure cycling. After the last meetings with the Team Associatoin, they have unveiled a proposed calendar for the tree grand tours and the proposed limitations in the amount of riders for division 1 professional teams. It is the UCI's intention that the race organizers of the three major stage races will shorten the length of competition to 15 days, split over three weeks, instead of 21 days of competitions spread over a period of almost 4 weeks. There is nothing new about this plan, since the organization's president, Hein Verbruggen, has manifested his intentions for some time now. Even thought he representatives of the Team Association, the Rider's Association and Race Organizers have not been completely opened to these changes, they are slowly approaching Verbruggen's plan. What has been agredd already is the maximum size of the teams, which will become 25 riders by the 2003 season. Following find the proposed
calendar until the year 2010:

+ INTERVIEW
DR. MICHELE FERRARI: THE TEAM CARS WERE OVERFLOWING WITH DOPE
Translated by JJ Neufeld
Ekstrabladet, the Danish newspaper, has published more of its exclusive interview with Michelle Ferrari. The Italian doctor is facing charges related to his alleged involvement in distributing doping.
In this part of the interview Ferrari talks of his first years as team doctor in the peloton. A period in which he claims that a cycling doctor risked being fired if he wouldn't cooperate about giving the riders dope. "But I cheated them," Ferrari claims.
In 1984 Michelle Ferrari started working for Francesco Moser's cycling team and discovered how both legal and illegal medicine was literally falling out of the team's cars. "Medicine was lying around all over the place. It was in the compartments in both doors, the trunk - everywhere. Most of the medicine wasn't even useful as doping. And many of the products had directly harmful side-effects. I worked at reducing the medicine consumption, sometimes cheating the riders by giving them legal products or just glucose. The placebo effect meant that they rode better just because they thought that they had received some kind of miracle drug. The huge medicine consumption was indicative of the mentality in cycling at the time - 'Got a problem? Take a pill'. That was the way it was. And if the doctor didn't live up to the tradition, he was fired."
"At the time both legal and illegal medical products were a 'must'. If the riders weren't taking something they weren't regarded as real professionals. They weren't considered to be 100% serious. There are some things that are presumably different in professional cycling today. But the rules, the riders and the directeur sportif are the same."
Ferrari is facing charges in Italian court in Bologna in December. "None of the interrogated riders have told the police that I have given them illegal medicine. I don't think that I will be convicted. But naturally it isn't pleasant to think about the risk. It is particularly bad for my wife and two children. My wife often asks me why I bother to continue. But I love my job coaching the world's best cyclists. I will always prefer working with a car from Formula 1 over a Fiat Punto.
Ferrari hasn't given an interview since 1994, at which time he felt he was wrongly quoted about his views on doping - particularly EPO -
and he has denied all approaches from the media since then. "It was when three of my riders on the Gewiss-Ballan team won the first three
places in the Fleche-Wallonne spring classic. The journalists asked how I could explain the team's success. I responded that it was due
to training and diet."
"Then they asked where the border between doping and non-doping goes. I responded that anything that isn't forbidden is permitted. But the
next day then erroneously wrote that I had said that anything that can't be traced is permitted. After that they wanted to know what I thought about EPO, which was already forbidden at the time. I answered that it isn't that dangerous to use, but that it is dangerous to abuse. There are many physiological reasons why I said that. But it would have taken two hours to explain. You can't claim that EPO is dangerous. But it is forbidden. That's the way it is."
"In the course of the interview I was drinking a glass of orange juice and used it as an example. Drinking orange juice in and of itself isn't dangerous. But it can be dangerous to drink 10 liters, for example - you could develop diarrhea. Only the French L'Equipe quoted me correctly. In the Italian media they quoted me for having said that EPO isn't any more dangerous than orange juice.
