The 1904 Tour de France was the second Tour de France, held from 2 to 24 July. With a route similar to its previous edition, 1903 Tour de France winner Maurice Garin seemed to have repeated his win by a small margin over Lucien Pothier, while Hippolyte Aucouturier won four of the six stages. But the race became a victim of its own success, plagued by scandals; cyclists were accused of having taken trains during the race.^[2] Twelve cyclists, including the first four of the final classification and all stage winners, were disqualified by the Union Vélocipédique Française (UVF). Henri Cornet, originally the fifth-place finisher, was awarded the victory four months after the race.^[3] The problems caused the Tour de France to be provisionally cancelled, the 1905 Tour de France was run with different rules from the 1903 and 1904 edition.                         ~ that's right you've had 100 yrs of cheats !!!  & NOW you 've got an 700 lb.
