EPO in football

I notice that Raymond Verhiejen (twitter) is tweeting about Juventus (allegedly) using EPO in the run up to the European Cup final in 1996.

About to watch the documentary on Dutch TV which will prove Juventus players have used EPO during 1996 Champions League final vs Ajax.

Incredible to see the documents which 100% prove the use of doping by Juventus players in preparation of 1996 CL final. Simply incredible.

These documents show 100% prove that many Juventus players had a Hemoglobin increase of 15 during April-May 1996. Impossible without doping.

I think he is referring to this video My link. I saw one quote that said something along the lines of "the left back was unplayable which, given that it was the end of a long season, was puzzling".

Given that cycling was not the only sport to see increased performances due to EPO usage in the late 90's and beyond, which teams (in retrospect) do you think could be likely candidates to have taken this path?
