Doubts raised about Contador win in the Tour de France



There is a lot of press around that raises doubts over the Alberto Contador, the winner of the 2007 Tour de France. 

Refer to this article from smh.com.au that quotes a German expert who is belived that Contador had used drugs.



I think that any rider that had an association with Dr Fuentes and whos name came up in the Operation Puerto inquiry would have to be supicious.

Just think that if Contador is rubbed out, Australian Cadel Evans becomes the winner of the 2007 Tour de France.



 

 Alberto Contador takes the plaudits in his home village of Pinto near Madrid, but a drug cloud hangs over his head

Sun's Profit Sparkles

"Sun's Profit Sparkles" that is the quote from the TheSteet.com.   I quote "Sun sailed past analysts' profit expectations on Monday, nothing its third consecuitive quarter in the black and sending its stock surging."  

Sun reported a profit of $329 million or 9 cents a share vs the average analysts' expectations of 5 cents a share.  We SMASHED the analysts expectations!!

This is a great result for the Sun, the staff, the customers and the investors and all those that stuck by the company.  The Sun is rising!
