As the title suggests, Levi Leipheimer won the Tour of California (an 8-day stage race) for the second consecutive time yesterday. What is not as well known is that he and team Astana are in need of our help this year. The ASO decided to ban the team from participating in the French tours, including the Tour de France - the reason cited being the doping problems of last year's team Astana. However, the decision is completely baseless given that this year's team consists of all new riders under completely different management; They even spend the most money on anti-doping controls of any team in the ProTour. If you feel the ASO's decision is unjust and would like to do your part to give Levi and team Astana the chance to compete, then please sign the petition at http://www.letleviride.com. Thanks.
