See here (http://velonews.competitor.com/2011/05/news/giro-notes-short-stages-and-etna%e2%80%99s-ashes_172928). In particular, this quote: "Expensive Coca-Colas. Six riders – Lastras, Wyss, Golas, Favili, Rabottini and Simono – were fined 50 Swiss francs each for passing drinks. Their respective sport directors were fined 200 Swiss francs each."

They were fined because they're not on the same team and passed each other drinks? Really? If so, sounds absurd.

The new hobby for athletes is dehydration. It isn't bad enough they have to survive the day.
