Occam's razor
Manuel Beltran is the latest in a long line of ex-Armstrong troops to be caught with one hand in the EPO jar.
Considering we had a week of drug free racing - at least in the media - we should count ourselves lucky.
You don't have to think too far back to remember the stage where Beltran nearly popped Uncle Lance he was climbing that ferociously.
Sgt. Landis, Lt. Hamilton, Corp. Beltran...
It adds up, and we all know what to.
So with that in mind I suggested to Christian (Prudhomme) that the tour battleground should now be fought in the labs.
Team vs Team. Lab vs Lab. Drug vs drug.
May the best scientist win!
The new DRUG jerseys will be
Overall - Tear the legs of rivals and the rider himself.
The Green - Keeps the riders 'chilled' on the long boring stages. Thoroughly test already in BC.
Most attacking - Works well, but only for a day
Mountains - Gets the rider the highest, but with horrible come downs.
White - Drug with best results in its first year.
Of course you've got to fine tune the balance of one with another ... don't want them all falling over in the night with blood the consistency of clag.

after they catch them all Lance will be exposed.

Here's an interesting hypothetical. If a "clean" rider finishes first in General Cl****ification in a grand tour race through the ****istance of a team where the rest of the riders in that team are "performance enhanced" should he be deemed to have won?

Good point. They should disqualify the TEAM. That'll sort em out.
