Cyclist Zabel admits extensive doping

Retired rider Erik Zabel has said he used banned substances including the blood-booster EPO and cortisone over several years of his career.

Zabel, who won 12 Tour de France stages, retired in 2008. He told a German newspaper he engaged in doping over “many years.” Zabel said that he never had a “structured doping plan” but added: “If you take it all together now — EPO, cortisone, then even blood doping — it’s a whole lot.”
