Tour de France scandals for me. If they keep eliminating riders, I might just have a shot.
 
 Meanwhile, I'm wondering what Rasmussen is getting nailed for. Clearly it wasn't muscle-enhancement steroids. If that guy weighs 100 pounds, then he's got bricks in his pockets.

Vince McMahon's "death."  So wait, first he's declared dead after stepping into a limo that promptly exploded?  And then he's not, offering a eulogy to Chris Benoit?  What's going on here?  Does this mean wrestling's not real?

I am throroughly intrigued by the Tim Donaghy scandal as it keeps getting worse every day, but I'm most interested in the Carlos Tevez/West Ham/Kia Joorabchian fiasco because I questioned it way back when it happened and predicted the blowup.
 
 As far as the Tour, if no one is left at the end, can we really call it a race?

most of these guys are blood-doping as far as I know, that or EPO which increases endurance and energy

The Michael Vick story is off the chain.
 
 (sorry, probably should have put that in the 'what not to say' thread).
