2008 Tour de France

Cadel Evans of Australia leads the 2008 Tour de France after 11 stages.

Unfortunately, according to the Associated Press, that's not the big story: "the Tour de France... was hit by another doping bust after Spanish cyclist Moises Duenas Nevado tested positive for the blood-booster EPO... The case marks the second positive EPO test at this Tour. Spanish veteran Manuel Beltran—a former teammate of seven-time Tour champion Lance Armstrong— was sent home for testing positive after the first stage this year."

Does anyone watch/follow this anymore, or have the drug scandals kind of ruined it for everyone?

Re: 2008 Tour de France

Evans is still in the overall lead, while Mark Cavendish won the 12th stage.
Oh, and Italian rider Riccardo Ricco was arrested and forced to withdraw after testing positive for EPO.
