Now we know whose bag got swapped with Vinokourov's.

Man, this is better than WWE Smackdown. If only the Lovely Miss Elizabeth
were still alive.

Rasmussen out of Tour de France
Wed 25 Jul, 10:22 PM

PAU, France (AFP) - 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.
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 victory.
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.
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.

Yeah, but there's still four more days to kick him out, too.

Keep in mind I predicted this. Contador is next, then Evans and
Leipheimer. Kirchen is now safe since he's dropped down below Valverde.

¡Viva España!

My guess is that Discovery would rather have a legit 2nd place than a 1st
place with an asterisk, even though the asterisk is due to the action of
another rider on another team. Actually two other riders on two other teams.
This could be the TdF that rivals the 84 Olympics.

Those tracking implants are looking better every day, and you had damn
well better not marry, or be, someone from "an unusual location".
Let it all come crashing down! Or brand the *******s and chain them
up.
