Heras to return?
Heras, faithful lieutenant to Armstrong, winner in his own right and a doper, is planning – or hoping – to return… via CN:
Two years after his suspension for EPO (Erythropoietin), Roberto Heras is ready to return to competition. “Simply, I have the desire,” said the 33 year-old, three-time Vuelta a España winner, to the Spanish sport newspaper Sport. The Spaniard was discovered to have doped to win the 2005 Vuelta a España, a title that was later stripped. “At the beginning [of the suspension] I did not want to know anything about cycling, but as time passed, my opinion changed. I have been training every day, and the truth is that I want to return, but without objectives for the short term,” he commented.
