Will we have a scandal free Tour de France this year?

The 2008 Tour de France starts on Saturday 5th July. Recent years have seen an increase in doping scandals, with 2006 winner Floyd Landis testing positive for testosterone, and many teams being pulled out in 2007 as riders tested positive for banned substances. The 2007 winner Alberto Cantador is unable to defend his title as his new team is banned from this years event.
So can we hope to see a race this year that is scandal free? Or will the problems continue?

If it is cycling there will be scandals. It seems that the teams will go to any length to win the TDF. Do they really believe they will not get caught.

100% sure there will be a problem of some sort. Weather its drugs, arguments or what ever. In every sport, in every country, every year there will always be problems in sport, some people will always cause problems.

There is bound to be a scandal in this years Tde F.

It may not be a drug scandal, but there are bound to be issues of one kind or another.

They will continue.

No, Nope, Nada, Nein, Non, Ingen.

When a 100% French team wins the problem will go away.......... for one year.

Doubtful, they are already talking about it here. Doping is in if for awhile.

We live in hope.

Chance would be a fine thing! I can't see it happening really.
