More Bad For Cycling

Italian rider Cristian Moreni of the Cofidis team tested positive for testosterone after the Tour's 11th stage. Race organizers announced his name, L'Equipe broke the news of a positive test earlier in the day by quoting an anonymous official who said he did not know the identity of the rider and was not authorized to discuss the case with reporters.

Rasmussen wins stage 16. I understand that this is bad for Pat McQuaid.

Vinokourov insists he did not dope. This isn't good for anyone.

Finally. It rained this morning. At just the right time. And just long enough for me to go back to sleep. Turns out it was a localized shower and, had I waited 10 minutes, it would have been a nice morning to ride. So pretty much a bad day all around.
