Thread Name: BS: Tour de France, Anyone?
Subject: RE: Tour De France
Go for the long thread Tour de France, anyone in the non music section.

No reason at all to be surprised. All of the last 10-15 winners were at least suspected to be doped or actually found out to be at one point in their career. Five times Tour winner Delgado was even found out to be doped after his Tour win, but not punished due to a technicality (the substance was not on the list yet by four weeks). One other (Dutch) Tour winner was found out to be doped but only got a time penalty. One yellow jersey wearer (Belgian) with a big overall lead was disqualified and stripped of his jersey for delivering the (clean) urine from a little container concealed at his body (in the armpit) . He was nicknamed "Mannekin piss" then.
