"Italian cyclist Riccardo Riccò admitted to using banned blood booster EPO when interviewed by the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) on Wednesday about his positive dope test on the Tour de France.
Riccò, who had won two stages, was kicked off the Tour after testing positive for EPO (erythropoietin) following the fourth stage time-trial on July 8.
He initially denied having doped following his positive test and arrest by French police, but now he has come clean."
