LE TOUR LE DRUG
Cycling: - Russian cyclist Alexandr Kolobnev has become the first rider to be kicked out of the 2011 Tour after an 'A' sample from the Katusha rider tested positive for a banned substance.
A urine sample taken from Kolobnev in-race on July 6, had tested positive for Hydrochlorothiazide.
And just so you sound like you know what you're talking about around the water cooler, Hydrochlorothiazide helps the body get rid of excess water while still keeping calcium.
Cadel Evans, meanwhile, refuses to discount Alberto Contador's bid for a fourth yellow jersey despite the Spaniard suffering from knee trouble going into key mountain stages.
Contador hampered an existing pain in his right knee during his fourth crash in eight days on Sunday's ninth stage, the second in the Massif Central.
The Spaniard, who has won all six Grand Tours in which he has competed in, finished the stage with all the yellow jersey favourites but still has a deficit of 1min 30sec to Andy Schleck and 1:41 to Evans.
