DUESSELDORF, Germany (AP) - Germany's first case of doping in billiards was announced Monday after national champion Axel Buescher tested positive for an EPO masking agent.

Buescher's positive test came at November's German championships, where he captured the carom billiards title, the German Billiard Union said.

Buescher said the masking agent was in prescription medicine he failed to have approved.

The Union suspended Buescher for one year and stripped him of his title after he passed on his right to have the "B" sample tested.

EPO is a blood booster most closely associated with endurance sports, such as cycling, where it has played a central role in several Tour de France scandals.

Wow now the truth comes out that the top billiards players are juicing. That extra boost of endurance must really come in handy keeping them awake. Wouldn't a mountain dew help just as much

And EPO helped him to play billiards better in what way?

and then after that Poker. I figure then we'll have come full circle.

Maybe the EPO helps fight off the effects years in smoke filled billiards rooms?
Too funny. I'm sure this is just the beginning of the scandal....We'll be reading about
syringes and blood bags hidden in secret compartments of the billiard cases... This guy is obviously on to some secret that everyone will be using, and the Euro police will be launching sting operations to get in hand.

They'll probably institute a drug screening that ignores Bud Light!
