2002
On the day Raimondas Rumsas finishes third overall in Paris, his wife Edita, who has been accompanying her husband on the Tour, is arrested by customs men at Chamonix, who find 37 different kinds of drug in her car, including cortisone, testosterone and growth hormone. Rumsas denies any wrongdoing, claiming the drugs are for his sick mother in law. Edita remains in jail for several months, becoming a cause célèbre in her native Lithuania. To date, no action has been taken against her husband, who is still racing.
I'm sure everyone has heard the latest Rumsas news by now. He must have been getting into his mother-in-laws stash... she should have kept it locked up. Man, if he had known he'd get busted, he could've really loaded up and taken 1st in the Giro!
Hopefully, his wife is hiding safely in Argentina.
Disclaimer: I know, I know. I'll wait for the second non-negative before actually declaring him guilty. (But, frankly y'all, at this point I think it's just a formality.)
