Ik kijk regelmatig een aantal wielersites door, en op cyclingnews kwam ik volgend bericht tegen:
14-year-old Italian tests positive for steroid
If Andre Cardoso's EPO positive dashed hopes that cycling has cleaned up its act, the case of a 14-year-old Italian boy who tested positive for an anabolic steroid is yet another depressing reminder that the anti-doping authorities' work is never done.
The unidentified child tested positive for Mesterolone, an anabolic steroid, in a regional race, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, and was suspended by CONI.
Although the newspaper notes that this is the youngest athlete ever to test positive in the country, it does not note how frequently riders in the junior ranks are tested.

Hoe halen die kinderen het in hun hoofd. Daarnaast hoe komen ze aan dat spul?
