I really as a fan of Vino and really wanted him to win--he has the most guts of all the riders and the most flash. I really liked him.
I also was thrilled to watch Rassmusen come out of nowhere to win the king of the mountians two years ago. I liked his spunk and felt for him falling in the time trials.
If Vino and Rassumsen are dirty there is nothing left for me in cycling. Anyone here get excted for LeviL. Has he ever done anything exciting in tour.
A very very sad day. Cycling just lost milions of fans.

I certainly agree this is a sad, sad day, but I actually like Levi. He is sort of the everynman rider. Not spectacular, not the greatest time trialist, nor an explosive climber, nor a sprinter (not at all) and yet he just doesn't go away,. He is always there and has finished in the top ten of the Tdf several times, which is actually a spectacular performance. He may not be exciting but he is worthy of admiration, especially if he is drug free.
