That there's no positive dope test, raid, or whatever to screw with Vino's win.

Celebrated by riding Ebbetts and Monitor passes today.

Venga venga!

I was thinking the same thing earlier today. He already got off the hook once this year, so hopefully he'll be fine.

Man I wish he could have been in the TDF.

Jesus, Vino, you scared me. I thought this was going to be another "rider killed" thread. Seems to be a most unfotunate rash of them.

But since it's not...

VINO! VINO! VINO!

Well, to take the most pessimistic viewpoint, everyone is doping, so any time any rider gets to race he's getting off the hook.

Man, I hope not. Lost two teammates and one from a rival (but very respected) team this year, plus two friends that are on the mend from some nasty broken stuff. Hell of year, I'll tell ya.
