PARIS. As he was pedaling uphill toward the Portes Pass in the Alps during the Tour de France on July 12, 2003, Jesús Manzano, then a 25-year-old rider with the Kelme team from Spain, fell off his bicycle.
Though that happens all the time in the sport, Manzano did not crash in the usual way. He had been poisoned with illegal drugs and had received transfusions of suspect blood, he later alleged in just one of the bicycle doping cases that have been on recent court dockets in Britain, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and Germany.
