Now Jan - big week for doping

What a week for doping cops. Now Jan Ullrich gets a two year ban and is stripped of all titles post Aug 2005. Hopefully they publish any future testing results, can only imagine what he has cooking around in his system these days. Would put Charlie Sheen to shame I'm sure. In other news, CAS are exhuming the body of Marco Pantani to do some further testing.

Guilty

So Andy Schleck get a tour victory to his name, which was looking less and less likely and the odds of Aussie Cadel repeating increase. Look of soul searching going on around BOP today. I would say this story is not over and an appeal is likely. However the butchers themselves have had their reputations restored. It will be sad not to have him in the tour this year, but the race will go on. He'll back on the road for the Vuelta in August.
