Tour de France winner Marco Pantani (C) of Italy, second placed Jan Ullrich (L) of Germany and third placed Bobby Julich of the U.S. Celebrate on the victory podium following the 147.5-km 21st and final stage of the Tour de France cycling race of the Tour de France cycling race which ends on the Champs-Elysees Avenue in Paris in this August 2, 1998 file picture. A French Senate group that conducted a five-month inquiry into sports doping issued 60 recommendations on Wednesday, including stepping up prevention efforts, reducing gruelling competitive sports calendars and improving inter-agency communication. The report by the 21-member group was highly anticipated, as it revealed a laundry list of athletes who tested positive for the banned blood-booster EPO during the 1998 Tour de France.
