It was bound to happen

Putting aside what happened to him:
I for one will miss Vino attacking, never knowing when he would change up the race always adding that extra excitement to the tour.
He was one of the unlucky ones that was caught out of many others that should not judge.
I still wonder if the crash started off the chain of events for him.
I am so puzzled why he would dope when he was so far behind knowing he could not win the tour.
Also knowing he would get tested if he won a stage.
Why did he flunk on the stage so badly after the TT if he had in fact had the transfusion.
Things that make one go mmmmmmm
Sad to see someone so prominent go out this way.
