Vinokourov tested positive twice

It just gets worse!!!!!

 

any chance he had a transfusion after losing blood when he fell off?

 

If he had, he'd be screaming about his innocence now and blaming the hospital. His immidiate retreat into hiding only confirms the inevitable.

 

i don't think he has 'retreated' as you say, Astana were asked to leave the tour.

 

As said by Francaise des Jeux team manager Marc Madiot:

"A surprise? Not really!"

 

Ah well, that's buggered that, then. I guess all those Basques seen cheering him on and slapping his back on the last stage are wishing they hadn't bothered now.

 

I don't think this makes it any worse than it already was.

Anyone who truly believes that the lab results of the first failed test were awry is living in a large river in Egypt right now!

I see he's denied it. Hamilton mark 2. Very brave Vino.

 

where have you seen a comment from the looser?

cheers

 

Is he Hamiltons brother?
look at one of the reasons he's come up with...

"I think it's a mistake in part due to my crash. I have spoken to the team doctors who had a hypothesis that there was an enormous amount of blood in my thighs, which could have led to my positive test."

 

If he's had 2 positives I don't think there is a lot of chance he will be able to turn that around!!!!!

 

Yes, I thought that, but then remembered that this is the Marc Madiot who claimed that Paul Kimmage's allegations were to be expected from a bitter, lowly rider who had never won anything.

 

Looks like I'd better go for a blood test. I too have blood in my thighs, but I never thought it could be someone else's!

Idiot.

 

That made me larf....

...so did Vino's excuse.
