TOUR DE FRANCE 1999-2008

• Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

We look back at the Tour de France top ten from 1999 to 2008 and study the impact positive dope tests and doping scandals have had on the credibility of the event.

The 1999 Tour was supposed to be the Tour of Renewal after the disaster of 1998, when the French Festina team was kicked out of the race after a team car was stopped, searched and contained to found a large consignment of illegal drugs.

It wasn’t much of a fresh start because three members of that 1998 Festina team finished in the top ten.

Looking back over the past ten editions of the Tour, we have crossed through the names of all riders who have tested positive, served a suspension or were significantly linked to an anti-doping investigation at any time in their career .

Riders with question marks hanging over them are marked with asterisks.

Each rider’s offence or alleged offence is clearly explained the first time they appear in this article.

To be absolutely clear, striking through a riders name does not equal an allegation that their result in that particular race was achieved while doping. What it means is that the rider in question tested positive or was sanctioned or sacked at some point in their career, either prior or subsequently.

How the shadow of doping has damaged the grand tours in the past decade.

Giro d'Italia 1999-2008

Vuelta a Espana 1998-2007

1 LANCE ARMSTRONG (USA) *

In August 2005, L’Equipe alleged six of Armstrong’s urine samples, taken during the 1999 Tour de France, contained EPO. There was no ratified EPO test in 1999, but the samples were tested as part of a study in 2004 and 2005. There was no counter-analysis (B-sample tests) and no proceedings can be taken against Armstrong in any case because the alleged offence is more than seven years old. Also tested positive for a corticosteroid during the 1999 Tour, for which he retrospectively produced a medical certificate

2 ALEX ZULLE (Switzerland)

Admitted to using EPO in the wake of the 1998 Festina Affair and was banned for seven months

3 FERNANDO ESCARTIN (Spain)

4 LAURENT DUFAUX (Switzerland)

10 ANDREA PERON (Italy)

2 JAN ULLRICH (Germany)

In 2006 he was named in the Operacion Puerto documents as a client of Dr Eufamiano Fuentes. Sacked by T-Mobile because he had signed a document stating he was not involved in the OP investigation. Retired. Served a suspension in 2002-03 after testing positive for amphetamines out of competition

3 JOSEBA BELOKI (Spain)

Named in Operacion Puerto documents. Denied any involvement with Dr Fuentes. Case dropped by Spanish court. Retired

4 CHRISTOPHE MOREAU (France)

Tested positive for anabolic steroids at Criterium International in 1998 but was not suspended because he claimed he was given the substance by a member of his team’s support staff and did not realise it was banned. Part of the Festina team kicked out of the 1998 Tour. Admitted using EPO. Served a six-month ban.

5 ROBERTO HERAS (Spain)

Tested positive for EPO at the 2006 Vuelta a Espana, which he had won. Stripped of that race win and banned for two years

About: 1999 Tour de France

The 1999 Tour de France was a multiple stage bicycle race held from 3 to 25 July, and the 86th edition of the Tour de France. It has no overall winner—although American cyclist Lance Armstrong originally won the event, the United States Anti-Doping Agency announced in August of 2012 that they had disqualified Armstrong from all his results since 1998, including his seven consecutive Tour de France wins from 1999 to 2005 (which were, originally, the most wins in the event's history); the Union Cycliste Internationale confirmed the result.
