I did hear that there was one team (I think it might have been T-Mobile, but I'm not sure) where six out of the ten riders weren't allowed to ride because they were caught for blood doping. Apparently that was the team that had Jan Ullrich on it, too, and he was expected to do extremely well in the Tour.

actually, it was Astaná-Würth that lost 5 of its 9 riders and had to drop. unfortunatly, this means that tour prospect Alexandre Vinokourov (who was clean) couldn't compete. t-mobile lost only ullrich and sevilla.
