Alberto Contador took the stage win at Stage 4 of Paris-Nice in an awesome finish. Two seconds ahead of Rebellin, Alberto’s face was a mixture of agony and determination. Davide Rebellin had a great ride into the Yellow Jersey. Levi Leipheimer came in eighth. What a finish on cycling.tv.

Contador also picked up the Best Young Rider Jersey - he well deserved it, and the whole Discovery Pro Cycling team worked their butts and legs off for him. Great job for all the guys. Pic of Alberto is from the Solvang training camp this year.

I notice now that the Floyd Landis buzz is now that maybe another rider’s piss was used instead of Floyds in the testing process. When the FFF had the question session in the town meeting in San Jose last month, I stood up to the mic and posed that question to Floyd. I asked if he had any comment on the possibility that he was taking the rap for another rider who had juiced. That maybe there is some other rider out there who is sweating this out and staying silent and hoping to Hell that nobody notices that it is his number that was tested. I kinda felt like my question was minimized in the response, but I think it is a vital point. The slides clearly show another number on the testing documents... Yeah, there were tons of Cesspool errors, but Jeeze, maybe it wasn’t even Floyd’s sample, or it got mixed with some other sample.

If The Piss Don’t Fit, You Must Acquit...
