"Tour de France pre-race favourite Alexandre Vinokourov tests positive for illegal doping. The Astana team reveal that their Kazakh leader failed a test after winning Saturday's time trial in Albi." -- Reports the Eurosport RSS feed.
Whoops.
I read that first time around as "in Alibi" I should imagine he would like to have done as well.
Well, it seems you dont have to do all these expensive tests, or account for riders where-abouts 365 days a year you just have to see who plays a blinder for the day when it looks like they are spent.
I guess I will hear more about it in the coverage while I am being a big blouse and nursing my headache as opposed to being out with the amassed group of the VCM.
Well thats my £2 gone.
Now who's still keen on "four times your out" Rasmussen?
Thats Jons, yours, Justins
Thats Jons, yours, Justins and Syds £2 gone !!!!
Protests...
The time on their RSS feed is more inacurate than me updating the minutes to block on the right, or the time on postings after a reboot. *mutter.
However - looks like the Kazak team have all gone home for a little R&R and general gardening leave.
Is it just me who finds the Bianchi-esque colours a little - well, nasty? (I don't really care if the queen of Belgium gave you the colour - did she really own it to give? Maybe she was just keen to get rid of it? Heavens I would be!).
There is much foot stamping now, they (Eurosport) announce:
"AG2r team manager Vincent Lavenu calls for Tour de France overall leader Michael Rasmussen to be "kicked out of the race by organisers, whatever the cost." Eurosport
and needless to say that Vino denies doping. Hell, it must be a serious bummer if your team slip you a dose and you are riding round the course feeling like Eddie Meryx none the wiser.
Dear oh dear.
*sorry for not making it out last night - did we all have a good ride?
