Quebec Cyclist receives two-year ban for using EPO

(Ottawa, Ontario – October 19, 2011) – The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport announced today that cyclist, Arnaud Papillon, received a two-year sanction for the use of erythropoietin (EPO) during the Canadian Road Championships.

Papillon, who was tested multiple times prior to, during and after the Canadian Championships, had two separate urine samples (one in-competition sample and one out-of competition sample) return adverse analytical findings for the presence of EPO, a prohibited substance on the World Anti-Doping Agency 2011Prohibited List.

EPO is a peptide hormone that is produced naturally by the human body. It is released from the kidneys and acts on the bone marrow to stimulate red blood cell production. An increase in red blood cells improves the amount of oxygen that the blood can carry to the body’s muscles. It may also increase the body’s capacity to buffer lactic acid.

Papillon waived his right to a hearing and accepted the proposed sanction of two years ineligibility from sport commencing August 12, 2011. The sanction prevents Papillon from participating in any capacity in any competition or in any sport-related activity, including training with team mates, authorized or organized by an organization that has adopted the Canadian Anti-Doping Program.

“It is always disappointing when we find that an athlete has attempted to cheat,” said Paul Melia, President and CEO of the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport. “However, it is even more disconcerting when we find out that the substance being used is as dangerous and sophisticated as EPO.”

The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport is an independent, national, not-for profit organization. We recognize that true sport can make a great difference for individuals, communities and our country. We are committed to working collaboratively to activate a values-based and principle-driven sport system; protecting the integrity of sport from the negative forces of doping and other unethical threats; and advocating for sport that is fair, safe and open to everyone.

    Everything wrote was actually very logical.

    However, what about this? what if you added a little
    information? I am not saying your information isn’t good,
    but suppose you added something that makes
    people want more? I mean Quebec Cyclist receives two-year
    ban for using EPO – Cyclingworld.gr is kinda plain. You could peek at
    Yahoo’s home page and see how they create article headlines to grab people to click.
    You might add a related video or a pic or two to grab readers interested
    about what you’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it could
    make your website a little bit more interesting.

    Heya! I know this is somewhat off-topic but I needed to ask.
    Does managing a well-established blog like yours require a lot
    of work? I’m completely new to blogging however I do write in my diary every
    day. I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my experience and
    thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any ideas or
    tips for new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!

    You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I
    find this matter to be really something that I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for
    your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!

    Its like you learn my thoughts! You appear to know a lot about this, such as you wrote the e book in it or something.

    I think that you just can do with a few % to drive the message house a bit, but instead of that,
    that is great blog. A fantastic read. I will definitely be back.

    Do you have a spam problem on this blog; I also am a blogger, and I was
    curious about your situation; many of us have developed some nice procedures and
    we are looking to exchange strategies with other folks,
    be sure to shoot me an e-mail if interested.

    naturally like your web site but you have to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts.
    Many of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very bothersome to tell the
    reality however I’ll certainly come again again.

    Hey! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for
    this website? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve
    had problems with hackers and I’m looking at options
    for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good
    platform.

    Hi! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established
    blog. Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast.
    I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not
    sure where to start. Do you have any points or suggestions?
    Cheers

    Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard work due to no data backup.
    Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?
