What in the hell is going on with the Tour? Vino apparently went old school. Went back in time to a place before EPO and did the whole transfusion thing. Now Rasmussen, who basically wrapped up the GC today, has been kicked out of the tour BY HIS OWN TEAM. He missed FOUR mandatory tests and lied about where he was all June. Screw him. Why was he allowed to ride in the first place? They tested Lance while his wife was in labor, and this guy skips four tests? He didn't deserve the yellow, and I'm glad he's out of it.
Here's the link to the Velonews.com story: http://www.velonews.com/tour2007/details/articles/12944.0.html
And here's a picture from that article. I'm guessing it's some sort of fan protesting like when the fans at a San Francisco Giants game held up a bunch of syringes and asterisks. If so, well done. It's also a lot safer picture to show than the naked guy that was running with the leaders in today's stage.
Despite the Tour getting an enormous black eye, I had a good day. I woke up and was still pumped about setting a personal best while doing my triathlon training. Casey Gibson, who has a gallery on Velonews.com took this picture, which sums up nicely how I felt when I was done riding yesterday.
Dopers Suck!!
