Wow

I know nobody cares. But damn.

This afternoon I was pondering Michael Rasmussen, and the way that it sucks, if he indeed trained clean all year, that his Tour win will be under such a cloud of suspicion. I was sort of feeling bad for him, but, well, rules are rules...if not for some luck and a technicality, he wouldn't even be in France.

So on the one hand, I feel bad for him, but on the other: dumbass brought it on himself.

And I was thinking, why couldn't it be Cadel Evans or Alberto Contador? Cycling would actually gain some credibility if dopers were getting tossed and the guy in yellow was above reproach.

Then I sort of laughed to myself and thought, hope a piano doesn't fall on Rasmussen's head on his way back from dinner tonight...

Victor called while I was making dinner to say he saw a blurb on tv that Rasmussen had been booted from the race by his own team.

Holy shit.

It is confirmed:

Rasmussen pulled out of Tour, fired by Rabobank

Despite the controversy stirred up by Rasmussen missing four pre-tour doping tests, the Dane had seemingly weathered the storm and had won Wednesday's stage to all but seal overall victory.

However the team has learned that Rasmussen lied to them over where and what he was up to during the month of June when he was in fact in Italy and not in Mexico as he had told them.

"He broke team rules," said a team spokesman, who said that the Dane has also been fired from the team.

Now, I blame the team for a lot of this. Nobody is fooling around now, and the directors need to realize that everybody on the team better be pure as driven snow for the season.

And my question now...is Levi still gonna ride for Contador, or does he now in position for the lead himself?
