2007 Tour de France
Today, Michael Rasmussen, general classification leader (yellow jersey holder) of the Tour de France, was fired by his team for missing two drug tests this year. This marks the first time I’ve ever heard of when the race leader was removed from the event. The lead goes on to the Discover Channel Team’s Alberto Cantador.
Yesterday, Alexandre Vinokourov popped positive on a blood test and his entire team withdrew from the Tour, taking two of his teammates who were in the top 10 out of the competition.
Cycling, ladies and gentlemen, is not a joke. These fucking poseurs who can’t seem to ride up a hill without doping are. Ask Outdoor Life Network to carry a real race. I would tivo the Race Across America.
Let’s hope there’s something to give a crap about on le Tour next year.
