The Tour de France just started. You can follow it here.
Do you think anyone will be disqualified for use of illegal substance?
Will you miss Lance Armstrong?
Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.
I would be over optimistic if I was to say that no one will be disqualified this year. I would like to see it happen. No, I don't miss Armstrong because he was one of the greatest (if not the greatest) and he went out when he was still number 1. How many athletes have the courage to do that? In addition, he is fighting for so many other good causes that I still see him quite often and I will always admire him for what he did both on and off a bike.

I miss Lance as he gave the race and cancer survivors and element of hope when he raced and spoke. I had the pleasure of racing with him at Ironman Hawaii in 1988 and later spoke with him at the awards ceremony. He was a complete optimist then and will always be someone I revere. In regards to drugs, they are still being used in the tour. The new hybrid ones are not so easy to detect and the intelligent athletes are well aware of the wash out period before testing, however someone will be DQ'd this year!
