Old Guys Don't Win In Pro Cycling

I'm actually surprised I missed this one. Mongo usually has a nose for dopers like a pig onto some Truffles. Here was an obvious case hiding in plain sight.

Thirty seven year old Davide Rebellin, who just won Fleche-Wallonne, has been busted for using CERA during the Olympic Games last year.

Oh, and guess what? He won the Silver Medal. Guess what else? He rode for Gerolsteiner last year...Along with Michael Schumacher and Bernard Kohl. All busted for CERA! Look at Rebellin's results from the past year and a half...all accomplished over the age of thirty six. The results are so strong that I'm amazed he slipped under the radar for so long.
