Perhaps the Tour de France guys need to be issued with a silly bike and an extra passenger. If the leaders keep fueling doping suspicions and open themselves up to accusations of cheating, then the organisers may as well just turn it into a fancy dress/ silly bike competition. Such a shame that a great event can't prove itself clean, and that some of the big name cyclists can't even turn up for doping tests when they know how crucial it is to the Tour that it regains credibility. ALL riders should be behind restoring confidence in this great event and stop making excuses. How can someone, specifically Michael Rasmussen, be banned from representing his country in the Olympics but be deemed clean enough for the Tour; the organisers need to get tougher too.

Big bikes and alleged cheats
