Spanish cyclist Agustin Sagasti dies at 39
MADRID (AP)—Agustin Sagasti, a Spanish cyclist who successfully sued organizers of a 1994 race following a career-ending accident, has been found dead in his home. He was 39.
His death was confirmed Monday by the Basque cycling federation. No other details were disclosed.
Sagasti’s career was cut short after he collided with a car during the Tour of Valles Mineros, leaving him in a coma. He never raced again but won a payment of more than $500,000 after organizers were judged to have failed to control traffic.
Before his accident, Sagasti helped the Euskadi team to its first stage victory at the Tour of Basque Country. Sagasti was a Basque federation coach from 1996 to 2000.

Hemopure, developed by Biopure (BPUR), is an oxygen-therapeutic based on chemically stabilized bovine hemoglobin. It has been developed for potential use in humans as an oxygen delivering bridge in cases when blood is not available or is not an option. Hemopure carries a risk of being used improperly as a performance enhancement in sports, may cause reactions, or may carry infection. Hemopure has been approved for human use and commercial sale in South Africa since April 10, 2001, a first and only for this product class. But due to local politics and distributor conflicts, BPUR has only managed to sell a total of $8,000[clarification needed] worth of Hemopure in South Africa in the intervening five years through July 31, 2006, according to corporate documents.
Similar to Hemopure, Oxyglobin is also developed by Biopure and is an oxygen-therapeutic based on chemically stabilized bovine hemoglobin. However, unlike Hemopure, which is for human use, Oxyglobin is intended for the veterinary market, and is used to treat anemia in dogs. According to Biopure's corporate website, approximately 173,000 units of Oxyglobin have been sold to date, treating nearly 90,000 animals.
PolyHeme is a temporary oxygen-carrying blood substitute made from human hemoglobin that is currently in development for emergency treatment of trauma situations where large volumes of blood are lost, with emphasis on situations where fresh blood for transfusion is not readily available. It originally began as a military project following the Vietnam war and is currently being developed by Northfield Laboratories, Inc
