No, Lance will walk away with it this year, too.

Lance retired as far as I recall.

No, he's just hiding in the back. If you watch the live coverage in the mornings with Phil and Paul and not the editted and compressed evening coverage with Bobke and The Idiot on OLN then you'd see him. Every time he crosses the line he rings his little bell on his handlebars.

He's so cute when he does that.

Did you see him today? He was on Alpe D'Huez!

Alan: Is that Lance on the pink girls' bike with the cards in the spokes?

And the streams coming out the handlebar ends! Oh, Lance! Ring that handlebar bell, you wacky crazy one-balled Texan!

Now for the Landis B sample......

This is a real blow for cycling if it's confirmed and Le Tour in particular. It's already considered a suspicious and heavily drug-tainted sport. Especially here in Oz, I'm ashamed to say. Image

No real surprise Howard.

His winning performance on stage 17 after tanking big time the day before was completely against the nature of the human body.

Cycling is a sport dominated by doping and like certain other sporting governing bodies, they really don't want to be accountable. Think baseball and Barry Bonds...

Dick Pound head of WADA has been on the case for years about cycling and it's good to see him proved right.

Yes, he was interviewed on the radio this morning and if the B sample is positive he'll be watching the cycling federation like a hawk!
