doping

In connection with the investigation against the doping doctor Michele Ferrari , Fernando Escartín, who was listed on Ferrari's customer list, was also investigated. Although Escartín was never tested positive and thus convicted of doping, the suspicion against him remains, especially since a test for the detection of EPO has only been available since 2000 . In the years 2000–2002, however, no positive doping samples were taken either.
