During the 1998 Tour de Romandie, Mauro Gianetti abandoned during a stage and later became unconscious.[1] He was taken to the university hospital in Lausanne where he remained on the intensive care for 10 days, as his life was in danger. Initially, doctors suspected an infection, but all tests came back negative. Two doctors then suspected that Gianetti had been transfused with a Perfluorocarbon emulsion, to increase the oxygen carrying capacity of his blood. This was reported to the authorities and an investigation was opened.
