I'd be curious what doping he is doing now that he realizes that he can't homolougously blood dope.

I am really bored of time-trialists who suddenly become top tier climbers (BW) and I am bored of grand tours when the winner rides defensively and wins because of great time-trial (Menchov, Giro). I just want to see a natural relentless attacker, and this is Vino. Have you been following cycling for at least, let's say, seven years? If it is true, I don't know how can you say that he is an average rider who won only because of doping. Makes me wonder. And I am not even his fan.
He is the greatest all-rounder of 2000s, IMO, always reminded me of Jaja.

forty four said:the truth is doped or not these guys vino etc.. are simply better more dedicated athletes(cyclists) than you or i. except it and move on or find another sport but please stop clogging the site with bitter threads that make you feel better. or as i said find another sport. regarding some its clear your very sorry people as far as individual security goes grow up. as a cyclist im often ashamed by a percentage of attitudes found on these forums.

On a training ride.That said the homologous transfer was most likely a mistake with blood bags. It's not as if Vino was riding a full season, he like many of the top guys focus on a few races and that gives them plenty of time to stock the freezer. Presumably in Vino's case, bags were labelled and maybe using a puerto-like code/nickname system. Lots of oppotunities for a simple mistake to be made, and he got someone elses blood. Doh!

Alpe d'Huez said:I'm sure he doped before, and all but certain he will again. Getting caught is another story.
I liked his attacking style, but the guy struck me as one of the most doped up riders in the peloton. I mean, was anyone surprised he tested positive?
Izoard said:Nope, not surprised by Vino being popped, and was even expecting it when Kash was popped. Anyone notice that, of the very few blood doping cases that have been nailed, it has been teammates (remember Tyler and Santi, 2004 Vuelta?)
Hugh Januss said:I've been saying forever, that the teams just mixed up the labels. That's what you get when you don't have Bruyneel's attention to detail.
Quite possibly happened with Vino and Kashi. Though there was one suspicion that Vino had received a relatives blood, which he thought would not be caught by LNDD.Hugh Januss said:I've been saying forever, that the teams just mixed up the labels.
