    They might get the rest of the team as well but results aren't back. But the guy was caught double, by a dope test on 21 Mars and by a drug ring bust between a few different police agencies.

    Seems like they got the ringleader first - he seemed to enjoy tasting his own products as well :-D

    2 speed cycling eh? Biggest bunch of whiners. The good french guys still manage to win tho...

    Interesting that the operation was mounted by the Gendarmes and OCLAESP - aren't they investigating the transfusion waste from TdF 09?
