Giro 2014 Stage 11 - Rogers Rides Away

It wasn't that long ago that Mick Rogers finished up a little ban for an adverse analytical finding after the Tour of China. To be fair to the lad, it wasn't that much Clenbuterol and everyone knows that you only need to look at a piece of meat in China to test positive. Anyway, I mention this because the Giro is one of Rogers' first races back since his ban ended and he sneaked away to win the stage today.

All of which reminds me that it's been a while since we had a round up of Drugs News, so here we go. He may not be a pro anymore, but Jan Ulrich (a former Rogers team-mate) should, by all accounts, have failed quite a few tests in his day, so it is somewhat ironic that he should fail a booze test after crashing his car into some other cars.

And who could forget one-time Giro contender and full-time bell-end Riccardo Ricco? His Pro days are way behind him, but he still managed to get busted trying to buy drugs at Macdonalds.

Not to mention the news that Xenon is now a banned substance. Which begs the question, what the fuck do I do with all these?

I suppose I should probably take a look at them there scores. And who should be highest scorers of the day but the Charmers?

Tomorrow is the time trial. Cadel used to be pretty fast against the clock, but not so much recently. Quintanna has had done some fast TTs in him time too, the Uranator not so much. Should be an interesting stage for the GC contenders.
