Canadian Agreda confesses EPO use before before being 'caught out'

One out, all out. Well someone got nervous anyway, or at least their conscience was pricked after teammate Papillon was caught.

What's interesting is that this positive test - coming after the confession - was conducted at the Quebec Provincial RR champs. Not sure of the exact chronology here but there is increasing evidence of drug testers targeting likely offenders and turning up appropriately. I doubt they'll make it down to a club crit but who knows? One day?
