    From ProCycling. Who might the two other pros be. :

    It has been revealed that following Tuesday's raids on the members of a
    drug trafficking ring based in south-west France and Belgium, the former
    Castorama, TVM and Jean Delatour rider Laurent Roux has been detained.
    Police said earlier in the week that 93 vials of 'pot belge' as well as a
    substantial amount of cash were recovered during the raids.

    Roux, 32, and his brother Fabien are among the 19 people detained in France.
    Also taken in was former ADR soigneur Freddy Sergent, who is alleged to be
    the man behind the ring that was smuggling doping products into France from
    Belgium.

    Roux's pro career came to an end in 2003 when he was suspended for four
    years by the Court for Arbitration in Sport after testing positive for
    amphetamines for the second time. Friday's L'Equipe also reports that among
    eight people detained in Marseille as part of the investigation are two men
    who were members of the pro peloton last season.

    A well educated guess on your part. Time will tell.

    Dumbasses sound like they were caught red-handed.
    Pot Belge even. What throw backs!! Cash all over. Morons.

    Someone wrote somewhere that the pot belge is more for recreation these
    days. Gotta unwind somehow.

    "Someone wrote somewhere that the pot belge is more for recreation
    these
    days. Gotta unwind somehow. "

    Personally I am for legalizing (AT LEAST decriminalizing) all drugs.

    If Barcardi 151 is fully legal for 18 or 21 year-olds then what is
    really worse than that stuff, as well as Wild Turkey 101 or cherry
    orange vodka, what-have-you?

    Pot belge is safer than hard liquor.
    What is the difference between a hardcore alcoholic or a hard core
    cokehead?

    Certainly cheating in sport is not admirable and requires censorship
    within your sport, but to make felons out of people caught with drugs
    (sans Rx's) costs society way too much.

    Two relative unknowns: Eddy Lembo (MrBookmaker, contract not extended)
    and mountainbiker Christophe Dupouey.

    A cokehead usually knows he's addicted to something, a lot of alcoholics
    rationalise. More chance the cokehead will decide it's bad and quit.

    Legality and social acceptability I guess.
