Former Rabobank rider confesses to taking EPO and cortisone.
Yet another of the conspicuous riders in the peloton during the 1990s, Denmark's Rolf Sørensen, today put an end to years of lying by admitting in a press release published by politiken.dk that he used EPO and cortisone during his professional career.
"I used EPO periodically in the 90s," read Sørensen's statement. "I have also in some cases used the substance cortisone. There is no other excuse than that I did what I felt compelled to do to be an equal among peers.”
Sørensen refused to name any other riders entangled in doping.
"There will not be any names here. No allegations against other named individuals. It's not my style," said Sørensen. "The only thing I will say is that I, as we all know today, was not alone in it."
