PDM (UCI team code:PDM ) was a Dutch professionalcycling team from 1986 until the end of 1992. Gin-MG was co-sponsor in Spanish races and Cidona was co-sponsor in the 1991Nissan Classic . The team was sponsored byPhilips Dupont Magnetics , a joint venture between the electronics company,Philips , and the chemical company,DuPont . The team rode Concorde bicycles, manufactured in Italy, by several builders that were colour coordinated to the team jersey by Ultima.
Roy Schuiten was team manager and Jan Gisbers directeur sportif in 1986. Gisbers took over as the team manager the following year and remained until 1992. He was joined by Piet van der Kruijs and Ferdi van den Haute. The team was owned by Manfred Krikke, of Veltec Rentmeester.
The team was successful inclassics and had a rider second overall in theTour de France in1987 withPedro Delgado and1988 withSteven Rooks . It also had third place withErik Breukink in1990 . It won the Tour team classification in 1988 and 1989. PDM riderGert-Jan Theunisse was second in the1988 Tour de France , battling former PDM teammatePedro Delgado , when he tested positive for testosterone and received a 10-minute penalty.[ 1]
The team dropped out of the1991 Tour de France with reported food poisoning.[ 2] Team members and team doctor Wim Sanders said in a TV documentary in 2008[ 3] that the cause was careless storage ofIntralipid , a nutritional aid with which riders had been injected.[ 4] The team continued one more year, after which the sponsor sold the team toFestina .
In November 1997Cyclingnews.com reported an inquiry inThe Netherlands ,[ 5] which appeared to reveal doping in the PDM team. Wim Sanders, the doctor from 1990 to 1991, was the centre of the investigation, which was initiated when the general manager of the team, Manfred Krikke, called theFiscal Information and Investigation Service to investigate. It was said Sanders supplied anabolic steroids and EPO to the team and was responsible for the intralipid affair of the1991 Tour de France .[ 5] According toCyclingnews.com , 1990 was the height of the drug taking in the team and two riders stopped with heart problems;[ 5] whether this refers to stopping professional cycling or performance-enhancing drugs was unclear. Gisbers denied knowledge of doping.[ 4]
