The coverage is funny because they keep avoiding the elephant in the

racing for second, because there is a very strong likelihood that
second will be first.

If the kangaroo court does uphold Contador's ban one would assume he
would lose the TDF, but since he's riding in the Giro while its sub
judice one would assume he would get to keep the giro if he wins (and
doesn't eat any spanish steaks during the race).

I conjecture that Riis decided Contador should ride the Giro in order
to apply pressure to the CAS, so that by upholding the doping charge
would they would cancel 2 grand tours wins.

As theories go, I am totally on board with this one.
