I suppose this goes to show that unexpected performances are a good indicator of doping. Vino performed fantastically one day, terrible the next, and is great on the third day. Very suspicious...and now confirmed by at least the “A” sample test.
I had expressed exactly this suspicion just an hour before I learned the news. Its strange to me it’s not bigger on the internet. Drudge doesn’t have it, and even stranger, Google news doesn’t have it in their sports headlines, even if you click to get the expanded version. I thought Google tried to be “intercontinental”.
It’s a sad thing to me ... just when I was getting interested in the TV coverage, too! The extreme physiological stress of this kind of racing seems to create an irresistible motivation to gain the advantage that only doping can give, so I hardly know what could even be done about it that they aren’t doing already.
