Former Danish rider Michael Rasmussen makes a fresh series of doping revelations in his book, Yellow Fever (Gul Feber), published next week, including that he showed Canadian 2012 Giro d'Italia winner Ryder Hesjedal how to take EPO in 2003, when the two riders were both mountain bikers.

Details of Rasmussen's book were published by Danish newspaper Politiken on Wednesday, and they include accusations that former team-mates and peers also doped - including Nicki Sorensen and Rolf Sorensen.

Nigel Wynn
Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
