STILL JAILED: Edita Rumsas, wife of Lithuanian cyclist Raimondas Rumsas
PARIS -- Reuters reports a French magistrate has rejected a request to release from jail the wife of the Lithuanian cyclist Raimondas Rumsas who is at the center of a Tour de France doping scandal. A local magistrate ruled Edita Rumsas had not given a convincing explanation why she was carrying doping substances when she was arrested near the Mont Blanc tunnel leading to Italy on July 28, the last day of the Tour. The hotel rooms of Rumsas's Lampre-Daikin team were raided by French police and customs officers on the same day but the rider himself had already flown home to Italy. He has since tested negative for drugs, it was announced earlier Tuesday.
