Tested positive for cocaine.

This year's Tour will be a real winner. Missing four of the strongest GC riders and now one of the two best sprinters.

Thank goodness for an Olympics year.

This is the tour the French deserve.

Cocaine? C'mon Tom, how could you think you were going to get away with that one?

My guess is it was an out of competition test that did him in.

Since it's not a performance enhancer though, shouldn't he get a slap on the wrist and a trip to rehab? That's how we'd do it here.

He could, but the Tour is hyper now. Besides, he is walloon or flamand, not francais.
