Here's your impending doping doom story of the day from Belgium.

The Gazzetta dello Sport ensured a lot upheaval in ultimate run-up to the World Championship. The Italian sports newspaper in its Sunday edition made mention of the existence of a list fourteen racers during the past Tour would be caught on EPO. As this is all true, cycling will again be given a heavy pounding.

Who is there that may possibly be on the list?

AG2R: Valjavec and still one racer from the Tour Selection (Efimkin, Dessel, Arrieta, Dupont, Elmiger, Gadret, Goubert, Riblon).

Saunier Duval: Ricco, Piepoli, Cobo.

Team Columbia: two racers from the Tour Selection (Kirchen, Hincapie, Burghardt, Cavendish, Ciolek, Eisel, cocks, Lövkvist, Siutsou).

CSC: five racers from the Tour Selection (Cancellara, Frank Schleck, O'Grady, Voigt, Gustov, Sastre, Arves, Andy Schleck, Sörensen).

Gerolsteiner: two racers from the Tour Selection (Schumacher, Kohl, Förster, them, Häussler, Krauss, lung, Scholz, Wegmann).

That story lists Valjavec, Ricco, Piepoli and Cobo as definites. Ricco and Piepoli were obvious. If I were to make my other ten positive picks based on what is being reported I would choose Kohl (came out of the blue), Schumacher (seems like a no-brainer), Kirchen (unexpectedly strong race), Cancellara (heavily tested during the Tour and then skipped the WC), both Schlecks (Puerto tie-ins), Sastre (let's hope not but you almost have to figure the big dog did), Lovkvist (couldn't decide between Lovkvist and Siutsou but Lovkvist had a better race), Arrieta (had a break-out race) and Arevesen (grasping at straws between O'Grady, Voigt and Arvesen).

Whether my picks are right, or not, fourteen positives will be an awful blow to the sport. What I find interesting is the teams. The supposed clean French team Ag2r, the "tight" internal controls of Columbia and CSC and Gerolsteiner, who was always talking the anti-doping game.
