Anybody keeping up with the Tour this year? I thought last year was bad, but this year...sheesh.

In the span of 3 days, we've had Vinokourov and the entire Astana team kicked out, Cofidis pulls out, T-Mobile and Cofidis are threatening to pull their sponsorships, and now Michael Rasmussen (the overall leader) has been booted.

It's sad to see cycling become such a dirty sport.
