Why else did the Kazakh sponsor stay in if not to wait for Vino to come back and get ready for the Olympics using the team as support/training/.... ? Now will Vino stay with the team after the Olympics? Big unknown, but it would be great to see him tackle the Vuelta with Contador in the team, wonder who would be the leader...

How would Vino be able to ride this year? Isn't he serving two years, and four years off a pro tour team like Astana?

It is the national federations that set the punishment.

Kazakstan only gave Vino one year so he's back in time to race the Olympics.

Regarding the 4-year rule, that has already been scoffed at by Liquigas in signing Basso for next year. Plus, the Pro Tour is kind of a joke with all the UCI/ASO/RCS battles.

Speaking of which, given that there are only 2 months to the Olympics, what is Vino doing these days? If he intends to race in the Olympics, I would imagine that he would have made some move by now?
