I'm going to stick my neck out and root for Davey Millar to take the
Tour Opener on Saturday if for no other reasons other than

1. My lad Cédric Vasseur doesn't have a hope of pulling it off, even
supposing he rides which isn't 100% certain although if Boonen rides,
Cédric is pretty sure to ride too;

2. I'm sick of the sanctimonious shit several riders, principally from
Great Britain, are spouting according to the Tabloids

I agree, especially because I saw his Tour de Suisse prologue, and I
noted that he has extremely good bike handling skills which will gain
him some time. I think he is a better bike handler than than Millar,
Wiggins, and Zabriskie (duh).

The perfect way of safely disposing of doping byproducts!

1. Get blue cooler full of blood, steroids, needles,
caffeinated Clif bars, etc.

2. Place used needles, bags, and Clif bar wrappers
carefully in empty cooler.

3. Quietly leave cooler on street corner and wait for
Metropolitan Police to detonate it as "suspicious
package," destroying all evidence.

4. Profit!

Call it what you want, but you know what I'm referring to don't you?
Maybe it wasn't a law but a requirement that teams could not sign
riders under investigation if they wanted to compete in major races.

I thought CONI had closed the investigation into Basso at the time that
Disco signed him. If that's the case, then they didn't break the
agreement, because he was, at that moment, in the clear. He resigned
after CONI reopened the case.

There was among a group of teams a pretentious assertion that they were some
sort of association with rules that were binding upon pro tour teams. Some
number of those teams promulgated this rule. Basically it was so enormously
stupid and unenforceable that there's no reason to abide by it.

Discovery, who might suffer the Ignominy of not having a single rider
make it to Lutetia, is a Yankee-Doodle squad

And Yankee Doodle Squads can do what they like

Even get Miffed and take their Bat and Ball home and drop out of their
Trade Union

That's the Law that applies to this situation

Sorry for changing the subject; but what law was modified that allows
Discovery to field a team in the Tour after having signed Basso which
was illegal at the the time. I know someone explained it, but I can't
remember.

If I was there I would check the dumpsters behind the hotels, where the
riders are staying. Look for hypo's, blood bags, used t-patches, etc.
Enter all the data into my laptop, and then you would have your answer.

Davy claims he isn't a citizen of the UK, he said he was a citizen of the
world. That was when he won the opening TT years ago, and before he got
busted, lost his french castle, and the french girlfriend. I guess the
French police didn't quite grab this citizen of the world rap he was doing
at that time, and took him down a few rungs.

Given the levels of security in London at the moment I don't think there

David Moncoutie, Stage 12, July 14, 2005. Everybody
knows Moncoutie is clean, and a French rider
who wins on Bastille Day is definitely clean.

Charles Laeser in Bordeaux in 1903, I think.

Mind you, I'm not certain he was clean.
