Beat that dead horse

L'Equipe is at it again.

Recently there's been Operation Puerto, and the subsequent fallout, including Liberty Mutual pulling it's sponsorship of Saiz's team, Communidad Valenciana losing it's TdF invite, and not to mention several riders having a cloud of suspicion hanging over them. Operation Puerto is the biggest doping scandal to hit cycling since the Festina affair back in 1998, and rehashing Lance's alleged doping is the best that L'Equipe can come up with right now? Smart, real smart.

I just don't understand it.

If doping won't raise its ugly head for a while we're gonna get one heck of a Tour this year. Basso is looking like the man to beat, but Ullrich can never be counted out. There are several Americans that could be contenders too.
