  1. Or maybe he just doesn't like people saying he doped. This time (if there is a 'this time'), he reportedly will show all his records. That'll be fun.

  3. OK, after all day with only denials and speculation, it's up on the Vanity Fair site (caution--nudity if you click to that site: http://tinyurl.com/5zwnns)

    So, if it's true, Astana will have to get in Le Tour this year too. Oh, the drama.
