Team Astana just pulled out of the Tour a few minutes ago in reaction to the Vino news. I will give the Tour credit, however; THEY TAKE ACTION. Otherwsie, you have to “savor” Barry Bonds’ “breaking” Hank Aaron’s MLB record with apparently no input from the Commissioner; the NFL still trying to determine if Michael Vick should be suspended; and what can I say about the NBA?
Blood doping?
The riders know they are going to be tested and they know what the testers are looking for.
Blood cells of another person with similar blood as Vino’s?
If he did it he was stupid, no, make that very stupid.
He’s asked for the B sample to be tested.
I think that, as well as cleaning up the riders, officials also should take a hard look at the testing company, handling and testing of the A & B samples and the people who work for the testing company.
