Armstrong said via Twitter that this Tour will be his last one. So probably he will retire after this season. I can`t see him riding another season without Le Tour. |

Just at the same time as it's been revealed that two of his former teammates who are riding in this year's Tour are cooperating with the authorities.
What a "coincidence".
Zabriskie and Hincapie's names ( ) will not be revealed before the end of the Tour, so they can ride it in peace.

In other news, although on the same subject, Riis is negotiating intensely with ISS, a Danish Facility Services Group company, according to tv2sport.dk.
... and apparently also GN ReSound which is the Danish copy of Phonak
"ReSound is part of The GN ReSound Group, one of the world’s largest providers of hearing instruments and diagnostic audiological instrumentation which in turn is part of GN Store Nord"
Correction: The negotiations with ISS have ceased.
If it's a danish copy of Phonak, will there be dope?

This is hilarious. So they should know that these two plus Armstrong werde definatly doped but allow them to ride the tour again. |

That's a shame, I always like a good old fashioned doping scandal at the Tour.  Especially, when there is back stabbing. |

I heard that Hincapie was given the ultimatum by Bruyneel in 2001-2002 that he had to dope to ride the Tour because that was the only way a rider such as he (who isn't a great climber) could help Lance in the mountains. If so, he could be the most important to witness when it comes institutionalized doping at Postal and Disco.
As for DZ, I'm not surprised that he doped (there is only one rider who has had any sort of fantastic result in his career who I'd be surprised doped), but he's supposedly a great guy (it certainly seems that way), so I'm not surprised he's doing the right thing and cooperating.

Voeckler has never been the strongest in a race with a strong field though... |

Where did you see that two former teammates are cooperating?
Basically every single piece of news on this case was first broken by the WSJ before being picked up by all the other media. This info also came from them.
Zabriskie and Hincapie are just my educated guesses. They are the only two people still riding who are yet to publicly react to Landis' accusations.
Michael Barry has already begun publicly pretending nothing ever happened and it's not like any of the Retirement Shack old men are going to change their culture of lying.
Heck, even the Hog today lied yet again. In case you didn't see, he once again repeated his delusional fantasy that "he dropped Induráin", when anyone who saw that stage knows very well that has absolutely nothing to do with what really happened. Already a month or so ago he'd said he was "the only man who ever beat Induráin". Not only did he never do that, a lot of other people did.
When you have an A-grade liar like that leading the team, you can't reasonably expect the riders on it to come out with any sort of truth.
