Following his two positive doping tests for EPO CERA as announced last month, Leonardo Piepoli called for a counter-test on Wednesday. The French Anti-Doping Agency (AFLD) said the Italian's "B" sample would be controlled in the coming weeks according to AFP. AFLD did not provide details.
Piepoli and his then Saunier-Duval teammate Riccardo Riccò both tested positive for EPO CERA in samples taking before and during the Tour de France. While Riccò admitted his offense after being caught, Piepoli has maintained his innocence.
