Marc Lotz (born 19 October 1973 in Valkenburg) is a Dutch former racing cyclist.[1] In July 2005 Lotz was suspended from Quick-Step–Innergetic for two years due to admitting to using erythropoietin (EPO), a performance-enhancing drug.[2] Lotz reportedly took the substance to help him at the 2005 Tour de France, which he never ended up riding.[3]
