Abstract
First paragraph: The Gran Fondo New York bicycle race is the biggest mass-participation event of its kind in the state, a 100-mile run between Manhattan and Bear Mountain. In May 2012 the organisers introduced drug testing. With thousands of entrants, this expensive process was limited to a handful of riders. Of those, two came back positive for EPO (erythropoietin), a blood-boosting hormone largely associated with the most elite professional end of the sport. Both riders were banned for two years.  Access this article on The Conversation website: https://theconversation.com/forget-lance-armstrong-the-next-big-cycling-doper-could-be-your-dad-36734
