Red of course.
The irony being that at last year's TdF Vinokourov was not a suspected participant in the doping affair of Operacion Puerto (which took out favorites Basso & Ullrich), but he was not allowed to start because 4 or 5 of his teammates (including now Disco wonder-kid Alberto Contador), were on the list (though all were subsequently cleared). Thus because the team was below the minimum of 6 no '06 TdF.
I wonder if the pressure of being deemed the pre-race favorite (a favorite Bruyneel tactic used successfully in the past against Ullrich) proved to be much to race clean? Or (assuming the B sample comes back positive as well) has he been a cheat all along? Which if that's the case - why did it take the UCI & the WADA so long to catch him?
Oh - good news bike-wise is that I found my Pocket Rocket.
