Le Tour: the Good & the Bad
It would be interesting to see, whether or not we could use graphics (or other statistical methods) to identify potential doping candidates …
The only thing we would need is a list of drivers who either
- admitted doping
- are convicted
- or are accused to be involved in doping.
At least we could use the list to look at the 2005 and 2006 results to find patterns …
Sergej did collect some data from:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operaci%C3%B3n_Puerto_doping_case
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doping_at_the_Tour_de_France
- http://sports.yahoo.com/sc/news?slug=ap-tourdefrance-dropouts&prov=ap&type=lgns
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sportspeople_who_tested_positive_for_banned_substances

There is more to look at, but for a first view pretty consistent …
