    Sure. Probably the same percentage as clean in the NFL, MLB and other pro sports.

    Well crap ... I was gonna put a fiver on him to win this year's Tour. Oh, wait, the dude last raced in 2006 and has been officially retired without a racing license for five years. That'll show him.

    Interesting question: They annulled his 3rd-place finish in the 2005 TdF. Does he have to give back the $112,000 in prize money?

    Yet another TdF winner exposed as a doper.

    Good thing the Tour has one sterling winner who was clean for 7 wins.

    ::)

    If everyone's always breaking the rules, maybe it's time to make better rules.
