Schleck wins Tour de France

One and a half years later.

Also, Scarponi wins the Giro d'Italia.

Apparently the Court of Arbitration for Sport was swayed by a showing by the prosecution that the chance of a cow farmed in Europe being contaminated with clenbuterol at a level capable of being detected in Contador's urine was a mere 0.0042 percent.

In related news a very few people in the world were astonished to discover that Phil Liggett still supports Lance Armstrong.

Just checking your comment moderation procedure to see if it is just TT who's been visited with such trials and tribulations on his process.
