Tom Boonen Out of 2009 Tour de France

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

Holy Mac! Tom Boonen is not riding this year’s Tour de France, banished after his second positive test for cocaine. The matter is not a performance enhancing issue, as the test was “out of competition”, but there are criminal implications as the drug is an illegal substance under Belgium law.
