Tour de France Valentine to Astana Reads "Don't be Mine"
February 14, 2008
From cyclingnews.com we have the news that the organization which runs the Tour de France will not be inviting professional team Astana to compete this year.
The Astana team was given a resounding vote of no confidence on Wednesday when the Tour de France organiser, Amaury Sport Organisation, announced that the team would not be invited to any of the ASO’s events. This means its star, Alberto Contador, will not be able to defend his titles in either the Tour or the upcoming Paris-Nice.
Only three days until the start of the Epogen Amgen Tour of California and already 2008 is shaping up to be another Year O’ Doping Scandal in pro peloton. Big. Sigh.
