Astana 2009 - we all know they were clean, now they'll prove it
I'm sure the Astana team will welcome this great opportunity to prove that they won Le Tour fair and square.
For the record, several teams are in focus for their controlled syringe disposals, with Astana singled out at the moment as syringe content is tested. In all likelihood no team would be so - umm, what's the word, stupid? - as to dispose of "foreign" syringes in the safe, controlled disposal system. Of course it only takes one individual to make a mistake.
Alternatively someone - this is the conspiratorial theorist at play now - could be setting Astana up for a fall. Which would be both wrong and diabolical, yes?
