Oh wait keeping the Dopers (*Astana) out didn't seem to scare anyone.

Bye bye Tricky.

Another soldier of the All time greatest army of racers falls to doping. Without the Texan they just get weak and have to turn to the dope.

OH.. it appears there are 9 more who showed abnormal blood results.

"The other nine riders who showed abnormal results will be informed this weekend by the AFLD, but the agency said that it would take no action against the riders other than to suggest that they submit the results to their team doctor "because of the possibility of a health risk," the statement read."


Le Tour is once again Le Tainted.

I don't see "yet another".. I see "another".but it is yet another to get busted and that itself is sad. You just come to expect it to happen. Dope scandals got too quiet in the late 90's early 00's. Obviously they were not testing then like they are now. Did you see the whole swim team in China is banned for doping?

I just said they turned to doping and did not specify EPO.Floyd Landis- testosteroneTyler Hamilton- blood boostingJonathan Vaughters and Franky Andreau admitted to taking them although they never got busted.Here is a quick google scan on some doping chat:http://www.cbc.ca/sports/indepth/landis/http://forum.velonews.com/read.php?f=2&i=295276&t=295273
