More positive Vino samples from Monday's stage

[MrBob]

From Velonews' live text coverage:

1:49 PM  Viokourov
News reports today suggest that the tests following Vinokourov's win on
Monday also show signs of homologous blood doping. Neither positive has
been confirmed by their respective B samples, but that has to be
considered to be a bad sign.

If he was positive for homologous blood on Saturday, then, unless the test
was wrong, he's bound to be positive on Monday. Red blood cells have a
life expectancy of about six months, so would remain detectable in his
system for several months at least.

So this is not news.

The trouble with Simon is that he only opens his mouth to change feet.

Not Big News, no - but for those still doubting the A sample result, or
hoping for a conspiracy explanation, it's likely a preview of the B
sample confirming result.

If it had been negative, that would have been huge. In that regard it is
most definitely news.
