Still just a rumour. He also says:
" I did say "rumor," not "information." My guess is no way they're out. Among other reasons, TdF wouldn't give up American audience. Right? "
He almost contradicts himself, though, by saying "Sources are good".
There's no way this is happening unless in the extremely unlikely chance that AFLD did manage to get something from the DNA testing on the needles found at the Tour last year.
Rumor Denied
The Tour de France always brings out the doping rumors. Certainly, the huge confabulation of journos in one place doesn’t help. Just today Bill Strickland, editor-at-large for Bicycling Magazine, said he heard rumors that RadioShack would not even start the Tour. For reals? Well, he later disavowed the rumor, saying that he’d heard from two solid sources that the team would ride the race. Whatevs.

Podium Cafe is not a valid source. Unless you count pcm daily as a valid source

Fans and viewers will be able to follow Team HTC-Columbia riders in real time with speed, heart rate, power output and other data provided by SRM, presented and enhanced with Google's leading applications - Google Maps, Street View, Google Earth, Android, and My Tracks.

So that's Google and Skype in the space of a week. Wow, they're going to be getting a fair amount of money. |

Nice to see that Contador is improving his English, and same for Sastre. At the same time, Luisle and Samuel have been ridiculois when they have been asked to talk in English.

Ok, now here it is a question, that I hope to be good:
Why Lance isn't wearing anymore those rainbow stripes as a former RR World Champion, like Ballan for example? Last year, he weared those stripes. |

Because they don't have to? A former world or national champion can choose to wear the bands or not.
