TdF Sans ASTANA

[Susan126]

I'm just sick of it all. When will it end? I doubt I will even watch the tour this July. In past years I would get up every morning make my coffee and then watch the tour. It would replay from 8 AM - 10 AM or so here on the west coast of the US. It was like a ritual. I truly was entertained with it all. I loved it! Also, I agree with Eden . . . I too think they need to stop with all this fussing around. Just stop and RIDE! For crying out loud.

Astana had to withdraw partway through the TdF.

Chickenman was fired by his team for not keeping them informed of his whereabouts and missing out-of-competition testing, rather than kicked out for returning a positive test, therefore the team was not forced to withdraw.
