Di Grégorio ? How could that be ? You mean the guy who's been at Astana ? I can't believe it. 
Still, from the article, you've got to think some people have an agenda. The complaint was filled last year, but they're treating it right now, in the friggin' middle of the Tour de France. Some people like cameras exposure much, eh ?

They did the same in 07 with Rasmussen
Rabo were aware of the missed test in June, but pulled him out when he was leading the tour

I imagine that only covers Sky doping, given that that is the name of the thread.

Cofidis talk is fine, as long as it doesnt turn into a debate which clutters the thread

Disregard the bolded, apparently the two people under custody aren't Cofidis riders.

''Such were Vincenzo Nibali's efforts in the Tour de France's first long time trial at Besançon on Monday that it took him over an hour and a half to produce a sample for doping control. When the Liquigas-Cannondale rider emerged sheepishly from the anti-doping cabin shortly after 7pm, he was greeted with ironic applause by the small group of reporters who awaited him.
"After such a short and violent effort like that it can be very difficult, it's lot easier after a five hour stage," Nibali said with an apologetic grin, as he sat aboard his time trial bike and began to pedal slowly towards his team car.''
It ( may ) meas nothing completely, still interesting.

Similar to Oliver Neuville 2006 at the Worlds. He had to pee but just couldn`t at that moment. Can happen. And it`s in especially funny if you have all of it on tape. |

Apparently the two people under custody aren't riders at all
The article says about some people involved in this case - possibly the dealers or doctors maybe - but nowhere is mentioned that these two are cyclists.
EDIT - translation below:
"The climber Remy Di Gregorio was arrested on the Tour de France for an alleged doping affair. The rider of 26 years was arrested in a raid at the hotel Cofidis, in Bourg-en-Bresse. The operation was led by police and gendarmes of the Central Office against harm to the environment and public health. The judge Annaïck Le Goff referred to a "presumption of doping."
This case handled by a judge of the healthcare division of Marseille "was opened last year" and "got to know a news these days." At the time, Di Gregorio ran under the colors of Astana. He is currently heard in Marseille. With the Kazakh team, he won a stage of Paris-Nice before taking 39th place in the Tour de France. In addition, two men were remanded in custody in Marseille in the same case.
The leaders of Cofidis, whose new manager Yvon Sanquer, have so far not commented on the arrest. They should speak at a press conference scheduled at 16:00."

Yeh, that's what I meant. I should have made it clearer, my bad.

Festina 1998 - Astana 2012? If the rumours about the police in Astana hotel as well are correct, who knows what may happen. |

What would a rest day be without police ransacking hotel rooms? This happens every year doesn't it?
