Gotta be awful fast to be the first one with this news...
Also understanding a bit of French helps in this case.

And 9 others had "abnormal blood values" from the pre-tour testing. They won't be reprimanded, but thier teams will be notified for health reasons.

So Lance didn't dope, everyone who helped him win did!
/End sarcastic comment.

You've got to admit Bruyneel is doing something right. Who are the five? Floyd, Tyler, Heras, Manny and...? I'm assuming you're not counting Boonen.

Don't forget the nandralone positive by Benoit Joachim way way back (2000?). He was duly sacked and then rehired. He was on the Tour team the next year and for many years afterwards.
