Jan Ullrich, Ivan Basso, the entire Astana-Würth team including Alexander Vinokourov (although he was not found guilty of doping, just the rest of his team was) are all out of the tour. With Lance retired, the top 5 riders from last year will not be riding this year. The list of riders busted was at 31 last time I checked but the list is getting longer every hour as more names are released. This is probably the biggest drug bust in sport's history, even bigger than the Balco scandal, and it's all coming less that 24 hours before the tour starts.
Here's a link to a site that's have frequent updates about the whole ordeal:

go Australia
australia always wins at someone elses expense. remember the winter olympics of 2002 in speed skating? all the skaters fell and the one aussie who was in dead last won pretty much by default.
...by the way, i love when that happens.
