[b]Rasmussen could face sanctions
Troubles for Michael Rasmussen aren't over yet. The Danish climbing specialist could face a two-year ban after lying about his whereabouts ahead of this year's Tour de France.

Rabobank fired Rasmussen while leading the 2007 Tour with just days to go following inconsistencies about where he was in the weeks ahead of the race.

On Thursday, UCI president Pat McQuaid told VeloNews that Rasmussen's lies could come back to haunt him and insisted that latest admissions fall short.

"We are considering sanctions. If he lied, to me that's the same as a positive in a doping offense," McQuaid said during a break at the World Anti-Doping Conference in Madrid. "For him to lie about something as fundamental as his whereabouts is very serious."

This is what I have for those with contracts:

I could have sworn that I saw that Davis was going somewhere. And I think it was Astana.

What are you angry about?

They actually look much more alike than I thought they would. I tried to use Horner's team picture from the Predictor-Lotto site but all I got was the red X.

I thought you were making fun of their folliclely-challenged-ness.

Nobody better make fun of my boy Levi!!!

Oh and I don't necessarily think Horner is clean but some people over on the Daily Peloton think he's a god.
