When Josh and I moved the first thing we made sure that we had was OLN for the next month so we could watch the Tour of France. My dad called me this morning and told me that I had better turn the tv on because several people had just been kicked out because of doping (he couldn't remember which ones). Oddly enough I had a hard time finding the story on any news channel, and it wasn't even a main story on ESPN. After a little searching, it appears that Ivan Basso, Jan Ullrich, Oscar Sevilla, Francisco Mancebo and more have been suspended. I was really looking forward to watching Basso and Ullrich this year. Instead of being angry, I find myself just being sad that the race I'm going to watch this year may not be as competitive. When I think about it though, there are still a few racers I'm excited about watching, and I hope their names don't come up on any lists. Zabriskie and Landis - please behave yourselves.
