Astana out of Tour
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...

"If one can stick to the training throughout many long years, that willpower is no longer a problem. It's Raining? That doesn't matter. I am tired? That's beside the point. It's simply just that I have to."

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.

Go argyle, go.








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.
