See 2008 Tour de France At-a-Glace recap
Another doping accusation and rumors of a celebration party injury to Cadel Evans (he refutes the rumors) dominate the news after Carlos Sastre collects his yellow jersey at the 2008 Tour de France.
Dimitry Fofonov is the cyclist on Credit Agricole who's been accused of doping. The 31-year-old rider from Khazakhstan was immediately fired by the team. He finished the Tour in 19th place.
Fofonov was reported with a positive A sample following the 18th stage from Bourg d'Oisans to St Etienne. He joins the list of dopers busted at this Tour: Manuel Beltran, Moises Duenas Nevado and Riccardo Ricco.
Meanwhile, back at a celebration party, TheAustralian.com reports speculation that Evans suffered an injury as he was seen hobbling around with an apparent knee injury.
That would be a setback for his Olympic aspirations. Poor Evans doesn't need more trouble, after he was favored to win the Tour de France.
Reached the morning after, however, Evans dismissed rumors of an injury and said he'll be racing in a post-Tour criterium and the Olympics.
