Astana out as Vino tests positive
Posted Jul 24th 2007, 7:55pm by james evans
The Tour was again thrown into disarray yesterday with the withdrawal of the entire Astana team following Alexandre Vinokourov's positive drugs test.
The BBC reports how events unfolded:

Tour organisers have responded by insisting they are winning the war against the drug cheats.

Have your say on the biggest scandal to hit this year's Tour de France.
Has the Tour now lost all credibility? Is Vinokourov innocent? Was Astana right to withdraw their whole team? And where do we go from here?

Rasmussen in the dock

No such thing as a rest-day for Tour leader Michael Rasmussen. He may have shaken off most of his yellow jersey rivals, but the authorities will be less easy to escape.

At a press conference last night however, Rasmussen was concentrating solely on the matter in hand - his battle with Alberto Contador on a memorable day's racing. Check out Stage winner Alexandre Vinokourov's comments also.
