The 1988 Dwars door België was the 43rd edition of the Dwars door Vlaanderen cycle race and was held on 24 March 1988.[2] The race started and finished in Waregem.[2] The race was initially won by Eddy Planckaert. However, in September 1988, he had to relinquish this victory to secondly placed John Talen, because of a positive test of the prohibited substance codeine, though the team doctor claimed that Planckaert on the day of the race took two "antigrippines" in good faith.
