""We asked the team Astana-Wurth, formerly Liberty Seguros, to pull out of the Tour de France," Tour spokesman Matthieu Desplats said Tuesday, citing the "image of the tour.""

http://www.letour.fr/2006/TDF/LIVE/us/0/r1_equipes.html a look will show that the Astana-Wurth's jersey is missing from the team list on the site.
The Tour organizer's have asked Astana to stay away from the Tour. Astana have lodged a formal protest for which they are having a hearing today. I hope they get in cause having Vino there will make the Tour more interesting. Either way I am staying away from Astana in case more $hit hits the fan in the middle of the Tour. The Spanish authorities have released very little thus far....most of whats been reported is speculation...but...if they come out with names during the Tour all hell will break loose.
