Tuesday night, l'Equipe broke news that one of the race's top stars, Kazakh Alexandre Vinokourov, had tested positive for a prohibited blood transfusion after wowing fans with a resounding time-trial victory over the weekend. Although an appeal is possible and a backup analysis by the lab entrusted with testing is routine, Vinokourov promptly dropped out of the race and hustled home - a move replicated by his entire Astana team, at the request of Tour organizers seeking to protect the race's reputation.

Is it a case where biological evidence was collected during the initial investigation?" Inmates must complete a detailed questionnaire and provide the Innocence Project with backup material, like police files. "About half the time, we go to the lab, and it turns out the DNA testing confirms guilt," he says. "But that means in 50% of the cases we take on, it turns out they're innocent...
