1999-2005 - no proven cases involving the Tour winner
2006 - Floyd busted
2007 - Rasmussen yanked for whereabouts form; Vinokourov busted
2008 - Saunier Duval-Scott caught with dope
yeah, things were just great when Lance left.
So, a clean LA slapped in the face of all doped riders, or doped LA managed to become the best cheater in sport. Either way, it's an accomplishment.
