PDM (
UCI team code: PDM ) was a Dutch professional
cycling team from 1986 until the end of 1992. Gin-MG was co-sponsor in Spanish races and Cidona was co-sponsor in the 1991
Nissan Classic . The team was sponsored by
Philips 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.
History
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 in
classics and had a rider second overall in the
Tour de France in
1987 with
Pedro Delgado and
1988 with
Steven Rooks . It also had third place with
Erik Breukink in
1990 . It won the Tour team classification in 1988 and 1989. PDM rider
Gert-Jan Theunisse was second in the
1988 Tour de France , battling former PDM teammate
Pedro Delgado , when he tested positive for testosterone and received a 10-minute penalty.

The team dropped out of the
1991 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 of
Intralipid , a nutritional aid with which riders had been injected.
[4] The team continued one more year, after which the sponsor sold the team to
Festina .
Doping affair
In November 1997
Cyclingnews.com reported an inquiry in
The 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 the
Fiscal 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 the
1991 Tour de France .
[5] According to
Cyclingnews.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.
