Oh, for heaven's sake.
Vino has never been accused of anything. I can't find anything serious
linking Valverde to doping. Danielson rides for a team founded by a doping
specialist - the original blood doping specialist - for which most of the
big name dopers of the past ten years have ridden at some stage.
Danielson is a has-been who, at the height of his career, was a reasonable
domestique, and who had a flash in the pan today when Vino gifted him a
stage win. He may be clean; he may not be. I don't know. But there's no
reason to believe he's any cleaner than Vino or Valverde or Sastre, all of
whom can beat him nine days out of ten.
