News Le Tour de Scandal!

Posted by ELI SANDERS on June 30 at 9:49 AM

The Tour de France begins tomorrow, and already German Jan Ullrich and Italian cutie Ivan Basso are out because of doping charges.

But don’t worry Dan, there’s still Zabriskie.

(And for another Slog flashback, here is Zabriskie on the care of one’s taint.)

OMG! I was looking forward to Basso v. Ullrich in the Tour. The pressure on these guys must be unreal. I can't imagine them taking drugs with the scrutiny on cyclists the last few years and on Lance Armstrong right fucking now. WTF?

I felt like the Easter Bunny punched me in the stomach this morning - but it still didn't compare to Tim telling me about the Argentina vs Germany match before I got to watch it myself. At least now Hincapie & Landis have a chance of winning!!
