oh dear frank schleck, diuretic found in his sample and out of the tour. apparently there was a precedent for this last year when a rider was later cleared for taking a similar substance, on medical grounds

Stupid Schleck. I can't see any reason why a diuretic would be in your system during the Tour for any good reason. I'd have thought actively getting rid of fluid from the body would be extremely detrimental to you. Anyway, we wait for the B sample before putting him in the stocks.
A big two days coming up. Unless Nibali or Evans crosses the summit of the Port des Bales 5 minutes clear of Wiggo, it's all over (such that it isn't over already).

Aye silly boy! Clearing fluid out his.body won't be a problem for schlecky so it masking agent. Though he's saying its sample poisoning? The other rider was kolobynev or something like that Sat watching the race now. Gonna be a monster stage if nibs manages to attack. Wonder if he does and he's starting to get away if froome will attack leaving brad to maintain his own tempo. Or if he'll stay in check and be a good support rider.
Whatever happens its gonna be a good day to watch it

Guess it depends when Nibali goes, if indeed he does, but I don't think Sky will do anything they've not been doing so far.
I'll wait until the B sample before passing judgement.
Been hearing about a lot of the things happening in RNT re the Schlecks, Cancellara and Fuglsang being owed a lot of money.
I've been quite hard on the Schlecks this year for their petulance and lack of desire. Can kind of understand why they would not exactly be keen to race hard.
As for doping - I'll wait for due process to be followed.

There's also a conspiracy theory that RSNT have helped him to get caught so they don't have to pay him the monies owed to him
