This is number one. Anyone care to guess how many will be caught? 8 were caught last year.

I am guessing three. Things seem to happen in threes.

Well I guess EPO really does work. Best ever finish and first big win. Now we know why he was crying at the finish. :p

Is this racial profiling, or at least national profiling? ;)

Wonder Why only cyclists' names were divulged from Fuentes' files, and some names disappeared as the story unfolded??

I guess this is one way the Tour can get another stage win for France. Cesar came in second that day.

Bah...


They collected the sample June 26. Can't they test that stuff faster?

Sucks to race against someone when they should never have even started the event.

Totally changes the dynamic-who would you chase, who's animated etc. Looking at a poster I have it shows poor Bobby in 3rd on the podium. One and two were later confirmed dopers! Might have changed his entire career perspective!

***, the guy's sample is taken in June, and they don't find out the results until the end of July? Is this what will happen when we have nationalized health care? :bike:

"I know that I have not taken anything prohibited, and categorically say: 'I've never taken anything forbidden,'" Astarloza said, according to Marca.

It sounds as though he is innocent. ;)
