What is everyone's take on the latest allegations against Armstrong?
OK, I know, not swimming related, sorry.

All TDF cyclists are tested at least once just prior to the race start. I found the following at "dummies.com" in their section on TDF regulations:
Drug testing at every stage
Every rider in the Tour is tested for banned substances prior to the race. Various cyclists are tested after every stage, according to a selection process determined before the race. Under current rules, at least 180 urine drug tests are given, including daily drug tests for the race leader and stage winner and six to eight cyclists selected at random throughout the field.
It seems possible that someone might ride the TDF with no random tests if they are neither a stage winner or tour leader.
Lance of course has been the both the stage winner and race leader many times.
