Thursday, May 10, Some News: CSC-WorldOnline rider Bo Hamburger was suspended by his team today for reportedly failing the new EPO urine test. This new test is for the actual presence of EPO instead of depending on the old system of suspending the rider if his hematocrit was too high. Hamburger's hematocrit was within the UCI limits. Reports say the EPO positive came after the Fleche Wallone in April. Will riders that have carefully doped their hematocrit to just below the legal limit have to re-think their strategy now that the active doping agent can be detected? The test has limits. It is said that it can only find the drug within 3 days of its use. This will certainly affect stage racers
Monday, May 7. Some News. La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Jan Ullrich received medical approval to ride the Tour de Romandie. He had been experiencing muscle pain, and his start was in doubt.

Friday, May 5, Some News. CSC-Worldonline, who has an invitation to ride the Tour de France, is trying to hire Mario Cipollini from Saeco, who will not ride the Tour. Reportedly Super Mario has shown interest, but it remains to be seen if Saeco will release him. It is projected that the cost to release the famous sprinter from his contract will be 536,000 Euros ($477,000).
Marco Pantani is trying to organize a boycott of the Tour by non-french riders. This should make Leblanc (organizer of the Tour) happy, since Leblanc has worked so hard to exclude so many of the world's greatest racers from his race.
Wednesday, May 2. Tour de France Wild Cards: Euskaltel, Lotto, CSC-World, Francaise de Jeux, Big Mat. The Tour organization has chosen to fill the race with a number of French teams that cannot compete at the Tour level. Watching a caning delivered by the Super teams to these fine, but lesser teams is not sport. By excluding Tour men like Zulle and Pantani the Tour is not looking to have the greatest event, nor to select the greatest racer. It's Leblanc's race and his choice, but we should not think of "3 Weeks in July" this year as the highest possible expression of the sport. When nationalism triumphs over pure athletic endeavor, the sport loses.

- Belgium: Domo, Lotto
