Good God, is there anybody clean in that sport? Or just those that haven't been caught yet?

JM&J this makes me want to hurl!

Character and Contador never seemd to go together. Somehow Andy is a double loser. Why did it take so long?

He must have been at L'Olympia show in Paris on Friday night !!!

Really? Why am I not shocked?

Here we go again.......unfortunately...Floyd Landis the last winner to be stripped of his title grew up (and parents still live) about 5 miles from me and is a grad of my high school

I wonder if this could possibly be the truth?????

As much as I can't stand Bertie......the numbers are so miniscule as to lead me to believe he may be telling the truth. Not sure....and we'll see how it shakes out.

Contador reportedly failed a second doping test the day before. Not looking good for Alberto if true.

NYT article on second test.

Too much meat?

Sorry I just couldn't resist.

The plot thickens. The test for the plasticizer really starts to look bad, as well as the numbers changing on the amounts. Lots going on there....and as usual, our sport looks like $#!^ again.
