\"Bartali-pp01-01\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

this is from wikipedia, i found it as i was writing an article on Gino the Great for a magazine.<\/p>\n

it kind of blew my mind, to think that he was possibly the first in-competition drug tester of all time! as well as being a participant, and a huge one at that.<\/p>\n

here are the quotes:<\/p>\n

Drugs search<\/span><\/h3>\n

Bartali always suspected that Coppi took drugs. On the hairpins of the Col di Bracco, during a stage of the 1946 Giro from Genoa to Montecani Terme, Coppi drank from a glass phial and threw into the verge. Bartali drove back after the race and found it. He said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c<\/td>\nWith the meticulous care of a detective collecting evidence for fingerprinting I picked it up, dropped it into a white envelope and put it carefully in my pocket. The next day I rushed round to my personal doctor and asked him to send the phial to a lab for analysis. Disappointment: no drug, no magic potion. It was nothing more than an ordinary tonic, made in France, that I could have bought without a prescription.<\/em><\/td>\n\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\u201c<\/td>\nI realised that I should have to try to outsmart him and I devised my own investigation system. The first thing was to make sure I always stayed at the same hotel for a race, and to have the room next to his so I could mount a surveillance. I would watch him leave with his mates, then I would tiptoe into the room which ten seconds earlier had been his headquarters. I would rush to the waste bin and the bedside table, go through the bottles, flasks, phials, tubes, cartons, boxes, suppositories \u2013 I swept up everything. I had become so expert in interpreting all these pharmaceuticals that I could predict how Fausto would behave during the course of the stage. I would work out, according to the traces of the product I found, how and when he would attack me.<\/em> <\/p>\n

both quotes are from Miroir des Sports, France, 1946<\/span>.<\/p>\n
