Breaking news: turns out bears do s*** in the woods after all.

Very sad story.

The surprise winner of the Tour of Turkey earlier this year, Mustafa Sayar, is still caught doping. This happened in the Tour of Algeria, reports the French Velo Chrono via twitter. This puts an end to the many speculations that the round did after his particularly strong performance in his home country.

The 23-year-old Sayar won a ride in late April and the final classification in the Tour of Turkey (2.HC). A month earlier, he finished second in the Tour of Algeria, but it appears that he used there. Doping Two other riders were caught, their names are not yet known.

Last year the Turkish round won by Ivailo Gabrovski, which then also wast caught. Doping During the last edition uttered among others Marcel Kittel all his worries, but then denied Sayar.

Well,well, well!
Sayar it aint so!
We all voiced our doubts on pages 2 and 3 but it isn't always nice to be proved right.
What with the scores of athletes in Turkey being doped up I'm seriously considering getting goose for Christmas this year as a precaution.

Sad but not unexpected. The good news is that might mean that Berhane will become the first African winner of a major stage race, as he fully deserves. Shame about the circumstances...

You could argue that Froome's Crit Int win pips him to the post as an African winning a big stage race.

I'm not even going to get into this discussion.

Sayar is innocent - it must be a French conspiracy.

That's Landis-like in its ridiculousness.
