It will take more than that to get a Frenchman to win the Tour. :rolleyes:

I just feel bad for Contador and Levi...as far as cleaning up the sport, the first, most shocking step may be what is really needed. I don't necessarily agree with it, but after Landis's win/wait, no-win/OK, win/never mind, no-win, something MUST be done.

Hey Ovo, how many Russians are on this team? Lev "Tolstoi" Leipheimerov, Albert Kontadorski, Andrei Klodenski, did I miss anybody? ;)
By the way, I'm sick and tired of this witch-hunt. PEDs are an integral part of professional sport - how hard is to understand this? Cycling is much cleaner (dope-wise) than football or basketball for example, but somehow nobody jabbers about doping in these sports. Leave the guys alone and enjoy the sport as is.
