"Yesterday, even as Floyd Landis continued to protest his innocence at
an arbitration hearing in Malibu, California, Il Giornale, the Italian
newspaper, claimed that Oscar Pereiro, the Spaniard who was runner-up
to the American in last year's Tour, was possibly implicated in the
labyrinthine Operation Puerto doping investigation.
If Landis loses his case and is deemed to have taken synthetic
testosterone during last year's Tour de France, he will be stripped of
his victory. In that event, the 2006 Tour title would normally be
awarded to Pereiro, but in the present atmosphere of zero tolerance of
any ethical doubt, the latest allegations may prevent that outcome."
So who's going to win the 2006 TdF? My money's on Millar or Horner ...
