    Doing the dirty work

    By DON WILCOX -- Ottawa Sun
      Cyclists in the Tour de Farce spent lots of time protesting this week as French police began rooting out, piece-by-piece, the obviously widespread illegal doping in the sport.
     Too bad those same athletes didn't spend more time, a long time ago, rooting out the drug abusers and pushers on the international circuit. Then we wouldn't have needed this hellacious dog-and-pony show that has essentially destroyed one of the world's premier sporting events.

    Backstedt wins stage as end nears

     AUTUN, France (AP) -- The scandal-rocked Tour de France lost another team before today's racing, then returned to home territory with Magnus Backstedt of Sweden winning the 19th stage of the cycling showcase.
     With two days to go before the finish in Paris, TVM pulled out of the race. That reduced the field to just 14 teams compared to 21 at the start.

    As Paris nears, Tour can't shake scandal

    By JOCELYN NOVECK -- Associated Press
     AUTUN, France -- The scandal-rocked Tour de France ventured into the wine country of Burgundy on Friday, with another team dropping out of the cycling showcase even before the day's racing began.
     The Dutch team TVM pulled out two days before the finish in Paris. That reduced the field to 14 teams compared to 21 at the start. Just 96 cyclists started the 19th leg, about half the number that began the Tour.
