Cycling Weekly: Are fishing worms the new way of doping at the Tour de France?
"Hemarina, the French company founded by Dr Franck Zal, say that lugworm haemoglobin is a universal blood substitute that can transport 40 times more oxygen than human haemoglobin. Its super-oxygen transporting qualities are useful for organ transplants, but also gives it an appeal for potential dopers. It is used by Hemarina for preserving organ trasnplant and cell growth activation."
"He said that in 2020, a 'well-known cyclist whose team participates in the Tour de France, contacted me because he wanted the product'."
