doping

At the 1999 Tour de France , Hamburger had tested positive for cortisone after the prologue , but later presented a post-dated certificate as discharge. On March 19, 2001, Bo Hamburger tested positive for the blood doping agent EPO according to the Walloon Arrow , but he denied any use of doping agents. He was the first driver to be convicted of EPO using a new verification process. In 2005, B samples from the Tour de France from 1998 and 1999 were examined for EPO using a refined procedure for research purposes; the samples were anonymized. A sample could be assigned to Bo Hamburger, but a retrospective sanction was not possible.

After years of denial, Bo Hamburger finally confessed to years of doping in 2007. In his autobiography , published at the end of 2007, the Dane admitted that from 1995 to 1997 - as he said all top drivers - he systematically doped with EPO. He himself started EPO doping in 1995 after an injury: “Cycling meant so much to me that in the course of my career I would have sold my wife Sanne to achieve my goal. So why not take Epo too? "

Private

Hamburger is married and has three children (2012).
