Tough Day in France

The yellow jersey wearer, Michael Rasmussen, has just been pulled out of the Tour de France by his team for lying about his whereabouts while missing a drug test. Read about it here and here. Also kicked out were Vino and the Astana team, and just recently the entire Cofidis (French) team -- too bad for Brad Wiggins and Andreas Kloden! We're really bummed, because its been really fun to watch the tour this year, and of course it makes the sport look bad.

Whats the only positive news to come out of this? Ask this guy...


Spaniard Alberto Contador, Discovery Channel team rider and the "Maillot Blanc" is now leading the race! Alright!
