You too Perreiro!!! Doped!!!

There is a reason why Perreiro was not asking for his title anymore following the Landis debacle, he was himself doped!!!!! Salbutamol, a banned substance, has been found in his urine, twice!!! Salbutamol is usually prescribe for asthma problems but Perreiro is failing to provide documentation that he suffers from the problem.

Riis may have lost the tour for Sastre

Riis made a huge mistake by not making csc push and chase Landis on stage 17.
Sastre the favourite then to win the tour has lost over 8 minutes to Landis.
Perreiro ( the current yellow jersey holder) is also of this opinion

Tossato wins stage 18

Italy's Matteo Tosatto handed the Quick Step team and his country their first victory in this year's Tour de France when he won the 18th stage on Friday.
osatto, who was part of a long range breakaway, outsprinted compatriot Cristian Moreni of the Cofidis team at the end of a 197-km ride from Morzine to Macon. German Gerolsteiner rider Ronny Scholz took third place.

Perreiro keeps the yellow jersey, but if he knows it's not for long, he indeed stated that F Landis is the favourite to win this year's tour.

Frank schlek with a great win in the first alpes stage, Landis in yellow

Great effort by Frank schleck from team CSC to break away from Damian Cunego and win the first stage in the alpes. Cunego, schlek and Mazzoleni formed a trio that had up to 3'30'' ahead of the maillot jaune.
Questionable tactics by TMO holding back Mazzoleni and not allowing him to go for the stage win in order to help Kloden who was a minute behind.
Landis, Kloeden and Sastre made up to 1'30 on perreiro and now Landis holds the yellow jersey with a slight advantage of 5'' on perreiro.
Boonen has quit the tour during this stage, leaving Mcewen even more favourite for the green jersey
