Saturday Wheelings and Dealings

As I predicted in the item just below, Marion Jones has the Floyd Landis camp thinking:
-- AP: Landis' Lawyer Wants Doping Case Dropped
-- Reuters: Landis to ask USADA to drop doping case against him
-- NYTimes Juliet Macur: In Wake of Jones’s Result, Testing Will Be Analyzed
-- ESPN's John Helyar: Jones case ends a long, hot doping scandal summer

Meanwhile, over at the somewhat ignored Vuelta:
-- VeloNews: Millar wins Vuelta TT; Valverde extends lead
-- BBC: Millar takes landmark Spanish win
-- PezCycling News: Vino! Vino! Vino!

The time trial stage was David Millar's first major win (photo Agence France Presse) since returning from a two-year doping ban just before the Tour de France.
"This is incredible what happened today. I was kicked out of cycling, but later I worked very hard for one year to be able to win again. This is like a renaissance, beginning from zero," Millar said. "I want to send a message that you can return to the highest level without taking anything, not even recovery agents, you can win clean."
There you have it, straight from the horse's (I mean cyclist's) mouth: A cyclist not doping! Maybe Tooth will return!
Spain's Alejandro Valverde, who finished fourth fastest in the time trial, retained the overall lead by 85 seconds ahead of Kazakhstan's Andrey Kashechkin.
