that there are bigger idiots in the NBA and NFL right now. Vino’s status is barely making the ticker at the bottom of ESPN. Right now the owner of the Falcons is having to deal with the fallout of Mike Vick, and David Stern had to give a press conference earlier in the day regarding gambling and fixing games of officials. Cycling is lucky it is not the center of attention here.
Mike Vick is a totally different thing. I’m utterly sickened by what he’s accused of doing. I think that should be front page news for weeks. People need to know that this type of thing is going on in our world. 7 years is not enough for that guy.
While in Vinokourov’s case I’m only saddened at his poor choice & what it does to cycling’s reputation. My wife & I are both Vinokourov fans. He’s always seemed so focused and “removed” from the political goings on, yet kept getting caught up in them. Now that opinion may need to change.
