Following the race, suspicion arose around the dominant performance of the Gewiss riders. Their team doctor, Michele Ferrari, was interviewed by French newspaper L'Equipe the morning after the race and asked about erythropoietin (EPO), a substance used for purposes of doping. Speaking about the dangers of EPO, Ferrari commented that he did not consider it more dangerous than "ten litres of orange juice".[3][4]
