Any surprises here?

Below are the first lines of the top articles in almost all cycling publications. Are there any surprises among them?

Three-time Tour de France champion Alberto Contador of Spain has signed a two-year contract with the Saxo Bank-Sungard team managed by Bjarne Riis.

A former teammate of Lance Armstrong has reportedly backed claims by disgraced cycling champion Floyd Landis that Armstrong took part in and encouraged doping within the US Postal team.

A former team manager of cycling star Levi Leipheimer has claimed the American narrowly escaped a positive test for blood doping during the 2005 Tour de France.


I hope something (one way or the other) will come of all this investigating for doping. It seems like every year we have many unresolved allegations of doping. Let's get to the bottom of it and move on. This continual and perpetual investigating and media hype is not good for cycling.
