We at Yahoo! Sports adhere to the time-honored "keep your hands to yourself" policy. Exceptions can be made, however, like in Friday's stage of the Tour de France when a fool dressed as a doctor and holding a blood bag got too close to three-time race winner Alberto Contador during the middle of the race:
Contador failed a drug test last year, hence the nuanced heckling from the man. (It would have been funnier if he held up�a piece of�filet mignon.)
If people are going to get that close to riders, they deserve to get pushed out of the way. Frankly, it's always amazed me how close fans can get to the cyclists during those uphill stages. Even the people who weren't being jerks and running on the course were still awfully close to getting run over by Contador's bike.
The Spaniard finished the day in sixth place overall.
