ludwig said:Besides being a fan of Vino in general, I get a certain Schadenfreude over the frustration and outrage of the various ill-informed fans here who think that any of the other riders in the Top 10 of LBL are clean. If Gilbert or Kolonev had won....guess what folks a doper still would have won!
FoxxyBrown1111 said:I "prayed" that Vino wins. It´s a win over all hypocrites (TV-Stations, Newspapers, ASO etc. etc.) who celebrate Contradoper, Valv-Piti and Epo-Lance and also ignore their doping history.
In contrast to the above listed, Vino was banned for 2 years.
His win is also a win for Ulle, the Chicken and other scapegoats who weren´t covered up by corrupt organisations like UCI, Spanish Cycling Union etc.
Thank you Vino for that revenge, it couldn´t have been any better.
P.S.: I am not a Fan-Boy of Vino, but for justice. And justice was made today![]()
auscyclefan94 said:Hugh, you forgot the POLL!
Hugh Januss said:LBL final* result is in.
1. Convicted doper, served his time.
2. Soon to be implicated in Italian drug ring. Wrong. Already implicated in spanish drug ring.
3. Convicted doper out on parole?
4. Says he would win everything but he is the only one that doesn't dope.
5. Says he doesn't either, but a teammate just got pinched this week. And a bunch before. And he rode for Telekom. And Saeco. And Mapei. And Lotto. None of those are exactly shining endorsements.
6. Brother paid a gynocologist for "training tips".
7. Couple teammates busted in the past year, besides he's Spanish
8. Consorts with known dopers.
9. The brother from above.
10. Implicated in the gynocologist's little legal problem, then "cleared", but he is Spanish as well.

Bala Verde said:The poll is:
- Tricycles are actually souped up bicycles and are therefore correctly on the UCIs banned substances list:
1) Agree
2) Disagree
3) I love Vino
4) I don't know
5) My mom tells me it is time to go to bed, so i'll respond later with the paperwork submitted in threefold, after having analyzed the situation into the greatest detail

pedaling squares said:But come on, he sits out for two years and at 36 years old is about as good as when he was blood doping?
Phil Liggett post-race : "so, Jonathan [Vaughters], how is it these guys can come back from suspension and still ride so well?" JV: "Ummmmm.... Uhhhh...."

What a sad state of affairs this great sport is in.
