Tour rocked by new positive tests 
Two Tour de France stage winners have 
tested positive for an advanced blood 
doping product. 

Italy's Leonardo Piepoli and Germany's 
Stefan Schumacher tested positive for 
Continuous Erythropoiesis Receptor 
Activator (Cera). 

Italy's Riccardo Ricco has already 
admitted to using Cera, a version of 
the blood booster erythropoietin (EPO). 

Between them the three riders won five 
stages during the July race - or about 
a quarter of the 21 stages.
