Even if Vino appeals this and wins ASO will never allow a team with him on it to compete in one of their events. Like I posted earlier this would include some of the springs major classics and both the Tour and Vuelta.

Vino was not just a doper he was a stupid doper. He picked one of the easiest things to screen for. If he thought he would get away with it he is a moron. On top of that no one thought he was as far behind because he was riding poorly, his accident was the obvious reason. He did nothing but disgrace his team, the Tour and himself. Personally he deserves the lifetime ban if anyone doses.
