Could well be the case. After all of these cheating incidents, I hope Versus doesn’t decide to drop the TDF next year. I’m not a cyclist but have come to really like the sport.

Didn’t Astana just agree to fund the team for the next ten years because they were ecstatic with the team’s showing so far in the TDF? I bet they are PO’ed to the max now.

"after all these cheating incidents"

I can only shake my head in disbelief. You begin to think that those who say "everybody does it [cheats]" are absolutely correct. The fact that these riders try to dope in the full glare of the TDF spotlight tells me that sophisticated masking techniques are the only thing that keeps the entire field from being caught. And maybe that's why every guy who's caught denies his guilt, because he knows he's only doing what everybody else is doing.
