Tour de Carnage

So Vino and Astana are gone. So too Moreni and Cofidis. And now the biggest one of all. The one we've been waiting for all along. The Chicken has finally been grounded. By is own team, as it turns out. After standing by him for over a week, they withdrew him from the Tour after today's stage for lying allegedly to them about his whereabouts during the time he missed those out of competition tests. His story had been that he was in Mexico hanging with his wife's family. But apparently that was a lie. Just one of many, it seems. Holy Crap.

More from CN and VN.

I wonder if Rabo sensed it was coming and decided to make the first move in an attempt to save their own hide?

Rember that ethics code that all the riders signed? Sheesh.

Maybe I'll do some revisionist math after all. Go Cadel!!

wow, this will be the first year in the last 9 that I won't buy the DVDs.I'm not saying it's not exciting I just don't feel like watching false results again and again.
Now all we need is the final proof that lance was a doper all along (you know it deep down inside).

don't bother with revisionist math for my team. they are being withdrawn in protest of this farce.

Don't worry, Dave. Without the Chicken, you don't stand a chance anyway. But don't take it out on a guy like Jens Voigt, who seems to be one of the good guys. Mayo? That's another story.
