I do not know what to think anymore. It is a shame for Leipheimer. I could be wrong, but I never heard his name brought up with doping.

They all dope. This is not a shock. Doping has been part of the Tour since Day One. Designing drugs that are not detected are as integral to the Tour as designing lighter bikes and more efficient components.

I can't argue with the way the last few years, decades have played out, but I like the sport and wish there was somebody to root for who I knew wasn't cheating.

I got to imagine something will happen to let them back in. They say it's cause Astana were all dopers last two years, but it's a whole new team, just same sponsor. They are out of Tour and Giro, sucks for Levi and Kloden...

Team Slipstream? If anyone can currently be trusted as clean, I would hope they are included. It's a bit unfortunate that one of their riders is named Benny Johnson though!

Slipstream is in Paris-Nice and hoping for a Tour invite. Argyle Army. They did well in Quatar.

cyclingnews needs to learn about RSS feeds...

Try this one out, Shiba.

feed://www.usrtriton.nl/cyclingnews/rss.php

It looks like it just gives you a list of headlines a few times per day or something. It's a start. It is pretty lame that a huge news site like cyclingnews doesn't have rss. Kind of ridiculous.
