Tour de France 1996 : the real numbers of dopingMr. 60% crushes the Tour |
|
With the victory of Bjarne Riis, we are at the peak of the EPO era. Mr. 60%, a former unknown domestique, surprisingly wins this Tour to everyone's astonishment.
The Deutsche Telekom riders, having admitted to doping in 2007, he must return his yellow jersey. Yet, as time has passed, he remains listed in the Tour de France's roll of honor.
“I was doped to the gills when I won the Tour,” he admits in 2025.
The table below establishes, team by team, the count of the riders who have been or will be subsequently "pinned" in doping cases.
