“He broke team rules,” explained Rabobank spokesman
Jacob Bergsma, who said team officials believed
Rasmussen had lied to them regarding his
whereabouts
in June of this year, when UCI and Danish Cycling
Federation officials had been unable to locate
the
rider for
out-of-competition testing.”

Which was the summary statement as to why Michael Rasmussen was fired by his team and is no longer the yellow-jersey-wearing leader of the Tour de France.

Well, I guess it had to get a bit uglier before it gets prettier. 

More here.  I thought I heard boo’s as he came across the finish line today…

Moreni’s positive for testosterone following Stage 11 now has Cofidis packing up and “accepting” the Tour’s invitation to withdraw…

But, just to clarify, Moreni isn’t a particular favorite of mine.  I just thought it was interesting to see these things stacking up a bit.

Vino pulls a positive for homologous blood doping after his TT win.

Astana “accepts” the TdF “invitation” to withdraw from the Tour.

This sorta stuff just depresses me…especially with dynamic riders who I really like.

Oh well, the rest of the racing is pretty danged good.

A VN article about blood doping.
