 LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) - The IOC opened an investigation Wednesday into possible doping violations in cycling at previous Olympics following recent drug confessions by members of the Telekom team.
A flurry of admissions by former Telekom riders last week that they used EPO further damaged cycling's credibility. Those who admitted doping included Bjarne Riis of Denmark, who said he won the Tour de France in 1996 with the help of EPO.
The International Olympic Committee set up a disciplinary panel "to inquire into possible anti-doping violations at previous Olympic Games, in connection with recent revelations concerning the Telekom Cycling Team."
