Le Tour de France

The Tour de France is going from one doping crisis to another, 1st Patrik Sinkewitz is found to have tested positive for illegal drugs BEFORE Le Tour began and is still allowed to take part. What seems like more injustice, unlike Astana and Cofidis, the T-Mobile team isn’t asked to leave Le Tour. Then we get news Astana team leader, Alexandre Vinokourov failed a drugs test after Saturday’s time trial, which brings into question his victories on Saturday and Monday, then on Tuesday we get news that Cristian Moreni tested positive for a banned substance and his team withdraw. Then comes the news late last night that Michael Ramussen has been sacked by his team for lying about his pre Tour whereabouts. The start in London 2 and a half weeks ago seems an awful long time ago now, I just hope the last three stages are as interesting for the right reasons as Le Tour has been for the past few days for all the wrong reasons.
