Boo!

Ricardo Ricco (Italy) tested positive for illegal substances in the Tour. He and his team were promptly kicked out. He was performing really well so far, a fun thing to watch that in retrospect seems, well, suspect. I'm sad. This Tour has been exciting to watch and they've done a lot of advertising about turning the Tour around, getting past all the doping scandals, and just riding. I guess they didn't convince the riders of that tack. I just hope that Vande Velde and Hincapie stay out of trouble...I would be beyond crushed.
