Dane confesses to taking EPO, cortisone Another of the riders prominent in the European peloton during the 1990s, Denmark's Rolf Sørensen, has today admitted in a press release published by politiken.dk that he utilised EPO as well as cortisone during his professional career.
"I used EPO periodically in the 90s," read Sørensen's statement. "I have also in some cases used the substance cortisone. There is no other excuse than that I did what I felt compelled to do to be an equal among peers. "Over the past year I've been asked several times about this issue and I should long ago have come clean. Sørensen declined to name any other riders involved in doping. "There will not be any names here. Sørensen sees a bright future for the current young generation of professional cyclists, but realizes that due to the doping legacy of his era victories by current professionals will still be called into question.
1990s. The 1990s, pronounced "nineteen-nineties" or abbreviated as "nineties", was a decade that began on January 1, 1990, and ended on December 31, 1999.
Culturally, the 1990s was characterized by the rise of multiculturalism and alternative media. Movements such as grunge, the rave scene and hip hop spread around the world to young people during the decade, aided by then-new technology such as cable television and the Internet. A combination of factors, including the continued mass mobilization of capital markets through neoliberalism, the thawing of the decades-long Cold War, the beginning of the widespread proliferation of new media such as the Internet from the middle of the decade onwards, increasing skepticism towards government, and the dissolution of the Soviet Union led to a realignment and reconsolidation of economic and political power across the world and within countries.

I knew this would happen eventually — I've watched decade-specific TV shows like That '70s Show and The Wonder Years — and I've been waiting for the day when the clothes and music of my youth would be recycled and marketed back at me. It started a few years ago, so subtly that I almost didn't notice. In 2008 the independent film The Wackness came out, set in New York City in 1994.
I was 26 when I saw it, and it was the first film I knew of that had re-created a time period I'd lived through. A year later, Jimmy Fallon tried to reunite the cast of Saved by the Bell on his talk show. Recently, the pace of '90s references and revivals has quickened. It's one thing to repurpose pop-culture nuggets from a decade you've never personally experienced — like when I started wearing bell-bottoms in middle school and my mother complained I was making her feel old — because even though they're technically retro, they're still new to you.
