Wow. What else can be said? Not only has Vinokourov been removed yesterday after failing a blood test, but now, Rabobank has eliminated the Maillot Jaune, Michael Rasmussen, from the Tour de France. The news reports say that "the chicken," not only missed drug tests, he has now reportedly been not, as he said, in Mexico. Rather he was spotted in Italy on the days in question.

C'mon, guys. How can we, how can I be a fan - when all these questions swirl? What's a fan to say to all the finger-pointers? I still don't hate the sport by any means. I still will watch. BUT what a demoralizer for everyone! What will be the reaction of the other cyclists? How will Bob Roll, Phil Liggett, and Paul Sherwin spin this? I mean, the TdF has lost the yellow jersey in the final week of the race!
