Default Re: [OT] - Tour de France 2006

The thing that bothers me is that this is a case of being found guilty before the proof is there.

The Tour Officials did the same thing last year(After the Tour) with Lance Armstrong.
A French newspaper with a history of attempting to smear a rider comes out with allegations, and suddenly the tour officials are "very dissappointed in Armstrong".

This year, a spanish paper publishes the names of several riders in conjuntion with a doping scandal and everyone starts suspending riders.

Maybe it's my American "innocent till proven guilty" bias, but it seems to be jumping the gun to have T-Mobile and others start suspending riders before the case has been prooven.
