yes, we definitely can count on a Brunyel (sp?) to run a clean team based on past history and recent signings. ;-) How about that Alan Davis winning three stages in the Chinese stage race for Discovery. Another Fuentes link.

What has boggled my mind for two weeks now, is that all this information was known last month. Why the heck did they even let him race? What is going on with the race directors over there?

This tour has gone from nightmare to a farse.

News Flash: Rasmussen pulled out of Tour, fired by Rabobank
Filed: July 25, 2007
Yellow jersey wearer Michael Rasmussen was sensationally
kicked out of the Tour de France by his own Rabobank team, the Dutch outfit
revealed on Wednesday.

photo: Agence France Presse - 2007

The Dane had seemingly weathered the storm over missing four
out of competition dope tests in the past 18 months and had won Wednesday's
stage to all but seal overall victroy.
However the team has learnt that Rasmussen lied to them over
where and what he was up to during the month of June when hewas in fact in
Italy and not in Mexico as he had told them.
"He broke team rules," said a team spokesman, who said that
the Dane has also been fired from the team.
"It is not even sure if the team will carry on in the race,"
he added.
Rasmussen had won two stages during the Tour, though, his
presence at the race was questioned by several officials and from the race
organisers as well.
His departure leaves young Spaniard Alberto Contador in the
lead with Australian Cadel Evans in second.

Well, at least we know our new race leader (Contador) has no ties to doping.
I'm sure we can believe in one of the youngest and least-experienced race
leaders in the past 20 years. I'm sure his implication in Operation Puerto
was due to circumstancial . . .

I'm sorry, I cendhdalh't kp tpng. Laughing ... . .. so . .. .. Hard!

News Flash: Rasmussen pulled out of Tour, fired by Rabobank
Filed: July 25, 2007
Yellow jersey wearer Michael Rasmussen was sensationally
kicked out of the Tour de France by his own Rabobank team, the Dutch outfit
revealed on Wednesday.

photo: Agence France Presse - 2007

The Dane had seemingly weathered the storm over missing four
out of competition dope tests in the past 18 months and had won Wednesday's
stage to all but seal overall victroy.
However the team has learnt that Rasmussen lied to them over
where and what he was up to during the month of June when hewas in fact in
Italy and not in Mexico as he had told them.
"He broke team rules," said a team spokesman, who said that
the Dane has also been fired from the team.
"It is not even sure if the team will carry on in the race,"
he added.
Rasmussen had won two stages during the Tour, though, his
presence at the race was questioned by several officials and from the race
organisers as well.
His departure leaves young Spaniard Alberto Contador in the
lead with Australian Cadel Evans in second.

All this makes me sick!
Check out Candi's email regarding the 15/16 race in Belgium that was lead out by TWO Oregon Junior riders who are doing it cleanly, fairly, and representing USA cycling the best way possible!

News Flash: Rasmussen pulled out of Tour, fired by Rabobank

Filed: July 25, 2007

Tour de France by his own Rabobank team, the Dutch outfit revealed on
Wednesday.

The Dane had seemingly weathered the storm over missing four out of
competition dope tests in the past 18 months and had won Wednesday's stage
to all but seal overall victroy.

However the team has learnt that Rasmussen lied to them over where and what
he was up to during the month of June when he was in fact in Italy and not
in Mexico as he had told them.

"He broke team rules," said a team spokesman, who said that the Dane has
also been fired from the team.

"It is not even sure if the team will carry on in the race," he added.

Rasmussen had won two stages during the Tour, though, his presence at the
race was questioned by several officials and from the race organisers as
well.

His departure leaves young Spaniard Alberto Contador in the lead with
Australian Cadel Evans in second.
