Gee whiz, you’d think these guys would have more sense than to test the powers that be especially since all riders had to sign a pledge they would not cheat and would forfeit their annual salaries if caught.

I did have suspicions yesterday after seeing Vinokourov rebound to win yesterday’s stage after he cracked so badly in stage 14. It looked just like what Landis did in last years TDF.

The Versus channel was running yesterday’s stage on the tube today but I just noticed they switched to showing the earlier time trials. Damage control?

Supposedly the failed test was from the doping control after the ITT, so maybe they're showing it again due to greater interest...

When I turned it on a few minutes ago they were running a crawl saying that this was prerecorded, and to get the latest on Vino and the Astana withdrawal you should visit their website or tune in tomorrow at 6:50 AM.
