> The presence of the anabolic steroid nandrolone was also detected in the urine of cyclist Jan Hruška in a second test of a sample taken by the rider of the Spanish professional team Vitalicio Seguros on September 13 after the seventeenth stage of the famous Spanish Velta, where he finished second in a difficult mountain stage the day before. Hruška thus definitively lost his place at the Olympic Games, where he had a great chance of success, especially in the time trial.

> The rest of the doping penalty for Jan Hruška has been waived by the Anti-Doping Commission of the International Cycling Union (UCI), and the ONCE rider will start the first stage of the Portuguese Grand Prix on Wednesday. Due to the presence of the banned anabolic steroid nandrolone in his body during last year's Vuelta, Hruška was punished by the disciplinary commission of the Czech Cycling Union with a ban on activities until June 18, 2001. Now, after an appeal, the international union has reduced the rest of the penalty to a conditional one.

> The rider always claimed that during the incriminated period he consumed only what was approved in advance and given to him by the team doctor. In the end, suspicion fell on energy bars, manufactured in the USA, which can be purchased on the market. The fact that the manufacturer of the bars apologized in writing to the ONCE team for not notifying the presence of prohibited substances on the packaging was apparently in favor of Hruška and his colleague Ivan Galdean.

Aha, so it was the burger purposedly doping the hapless mesoeuropean
