Now for more unintentional irony: they hang a yellow jersey from the ToC signed by Flandis in the company gym back in 2006. I did an internship that summer, and people were pretty stoked that the same guy signed the jersey is now crushing souls in France. I wonder where that jersey has gone since then. In all honesty, you can't fault Amgen for producing EPO: you can only fault unscrupulous doctors for diverting the supply. Nothing to see here, move along.
