Christian: In case you're keeping score...
...that's two riders kicked out of the Tour for doping or doping allegations. Two European riders, I might add. Of course, Floyd was quick to point out that the French-run (e.g. incompetent) LNDD screwed up by releasing Vinokourov's results the same way that they did to Floyd.
So, to revisit an earlier point: Europeans are, on a whole, far too proud of their sport to admit that it is seriously, deeply in trouble. What to do? Start here: A one-strike-and-you're-out policy on missing doping tests, samples given to multiple laboratories from multiple countries, and most importantly, no more tests from LNDD, which continues to be hostile to all non-French riders.
Oh, and number of Americans or Team Discovery riders accused of doping? Zero. (Just in case you were wondering.)
