Canadian doctor Maurice Duquette has entered a guilty plea to charges that he inappropriately prescribed EPO to a 'world class cyclist from Québec'. The prescriptions were given during the period 1998-2001 and the Dr. Duquette faces a possible four month suspension of his license and could be prevented from prescribing EPO to anyone involved in sports.
A gag order has been imposed preventing the release of the name of the cyclist in question, who is also expected to report to the Fédération Québécoise des Sports Cyclistes (FQSC). Radio-Canada, in reporting the story, has also entered a legal bid to have the gag order lifted.
