but there's no evidence to suggest that rasmussen has been doping during the tour - I mean, he's been passing the tests, right? so unless the effects are longer term than I thought then he had been winning under his own steam.
you know, the whole thing would be a lot better if we just knew they were all doping - at least then a win would still be a win. It's the thought that some of them are cheating and others not that's most corrosive. I only just got round to watching Monday's stage, which I would have really enjoyed having developed a soft spot for Vino after his troubles last week, but now it seems, well not quite hollow, but a bit sad and futile. I didn't know what to think while he was giving his interview at the end - was he clean that day? or was he just being a hypocrite talking about how he miraculously felt better?
