More Drug Problems at Tour de France: Riders Lead Away by Police, Others Fired by Their Teams, or Kicked Out by Tour Officials

Well, isn't this pretty?

The Tour de France (aka Tour de Farce) continued with more drug scandals this week, with two riders being kicked out of the tour after testing positive for blood doping, and the Tour leader being kicked out by his own team for suspicion of doing the same thing. One of the riders was lead away by French police for questioning (seen above).

The Tour is a joke. In fact, the joke the other day was that the only thing that the Tour is peddling is drugs. That's really sad for a sport whose worldwide popularity has increased in recent years.

And what's really sad is that Tour athletes will continue doping up as their colleagues and competitors get caught every day around them. It's utter madness!
