RE:A Tragedy, A Triumph, A Whisper of Drugs (the title)

What tragedy? Did I miss something?

[Cagey]

I too wondered why the word "Tragedy" in the headline.

From Phil Ligget.

"It was however, a sad day with the death of a seven-year-old boy who apparently ran out in front of a vehicle in the advanced publicity caravan. These past two years the organizers have worked hard to limit such a thing happening, but with up to a million spectators on the roadside, such accidents will always happen. "

[concentric circles]

A child was struck and killed by a Tour vehicle prior to the arrival of the racers. My mistake, most other stories mentioned this and I overlooked its omission in this AP story.
