I don't think so, he is a very outspoken anti-doper. As a British cycling fan it has been great to watch someone so anti-doping win and win three stages. He was even on the main evening news, some good exposure for cycling for a change. Unfortunately (for the Tour) I don't think he's going to continue much longer as in an interview I watched last night he said he was pretty tired and he struggled in the Pyrenees
He's part of the British Olympic track team so he won't want to knacker himself completely.

Watching VS "expanded coverage" last night, it seems that the positive lab test is that the blood isn't normal. Detection of any anomaly beyond normal limits is considered positive for doping. IE you don't need the specific test for drug XYZ.

Latest news (as mentioned in the Yahoo! Eurosport live coverage) is that both Ricco and Piepoli have been sacked from Saunier-Duval. And VeloNews mentioned that the title sponsor has dropped the team. The ripple effect of doping is becoming intense.
"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
