I think maybe they saw a lot of dollar signs being flushed down the toilet if he doesn't ride.

They cut off his hair but didn't test it? Maybe a throat culture, some fingernail clippings and a snot rocket next time.

Le Tour needs to hype up the Lance vs. Contador rivalry more. That's a layup, cash-cow.
All the elements are there to make this year's TdF epic ("Lance vs. Contador / Lemond vs. Hinault", "Is Lance Doping?", "SRAM, the new kid", "Livestrong", etc.).

Of course they're going to let him ride. Did anyone really believe they wouldn't? They may hate Lance (and possibly the U.S. in general) with a passion, but they're not stupid. Too much coin at stake.

As much as we Fred's enjoy riding the TDF is a "business". It would be stupid to cut the money out of the tour by excluding Lance.

Question, if his injured collarbone begins to hurt during the tour is he allowed to take a pain killer, or are they not allowed to have any drugs in their system?

Real reporters do work for a living. And pretty darn hard. You just probably haven't encountered one lately. There aren't any on TV, and newspapers are shrinking faster than my 401K, and bloggers just comment on what newspaper reporters write, or quote twitter or other bloggers.
