The 2000 Milan – San Remo was the 91st edition of the monument classic Milan – San Remo bicycle race and was won by Erik Zabel of Team Telekom.
Four times winner Erik Zabel lifted his arms to celebrate too soon and Freire won by 3 centimeters by a bike thrown at the line.
D'Hont's book, of which excerpts were printed in the German political magazine Der Spiegel in April 2007, accused members of Team Telekom of systematic doping with EPO in the mid-1990s.
In 1997, he finished second to Erik Zabel in the sixth stage of the Tour de France, but when the jury disqualified Zabel for irregular sprinting, the victory was given to Blijlevens.
