Astana Squad Under Investigation For Syringes

((HT: CP))

Nothing like something found during the Tour de France thing to raise an eyebrow...

Again...

L'Equipe newspaper reported Tuesday on its website that prosecutors opened the case after "the discovery of several suspicious syringes in a container given by organizers to all the teams in order to collect the medical waste."

((Aren't all syringes at sporting events suspicious...???))

Tour de France winner Alberto Contador and third-place Lance Armstrong rode with Astana on this year's Tour. The Spaniard is still under contract with the Kazakh-funded team while the Texan left to launch his own squad, RadioShack.

According to L'Equipe, the syringes will be analyzed by a forensic lab called Toxlab, which is responsible for determining their content.

Of course it is... nothing like a Euro-lab on a hunt for anything...

Here's some old video of the third-place guy when he smoked the field in a previous Tour de France thing...
