Another Lance Lieutenant Bites the Dust!!!

Heras suspended
Spanish rider Roberto Heras, four-time winner of the Vuelta a Espana, has been suspended by his Liberty Seguros team following a non-negative A sample test for EPO from stage 20 of the the 2005 Vuelta.
The team's management company Active Bay suspended Heras on October 27, but did not announce the action while it awaited results of the counter-analysis of the B-sample, the team said in a statement. However, the team said a leak to the press had forced it to reveal the case.
The team said it believes Heras is innocent of the charges, but affirmed its dedication to the fight against doping.

Wow, actually I am not surprised. I think that once you leave Usps/Discovery you leave the army of doctors that provide the whole team with undectable doping techniques. Who's next? Landis, Levi GEORGE? I mean COME ON you win the HARDEST mtn stage of the TDF on a break away? Please!!!!
