Default TDF Breaking News

According to L'Equipe, Rassmussen has been kicked out of the Tour. The reasons are not clear yet. I just saw it on a Spanish radio station website and on L'Equipe's website.
Unbelievable!

WOW! - I have this feeling that they are so fed up with dopers, they gave them just enough leash distance that those inclined to dope did and have essentially hung themselves. Now they are refining the field, and removing everyone and anyone doping. Good news SHOULD scare them straight.

i agree, maybe they should just give it to the winner of the Saab sweepstakes?

Rasmussen wasn't booted by his team for doping. He was booted for breaking rules.

Had he followed the rules he broke, it probably would have ultimately led to another doping charge.

Most think that they just have a WAY better program. We'll see. Contador in yellow and Levi in 3rd. More testing for Disco.

Think their blood can hold up??

According to Velonews.com, Rabobank kicked him out for lying about his whereabouts while he was preparing for the Tour.
He told his team that he was in Mexico visiting his in-laws, while allegedly he was in Italy working with an Italian doctor...
