here we go again: Vino

[HJ]

Vinokourov has insisted he has done nothing wrong, telling French sports newspaper L'Equipe: "It's a mistake. I never doped, that's not the way I see my profession.

"I think it's a mistake in part due to my crash. I have spoken to the team doctors who had a hypothesis that there was an enormous amount of blood in my thighs, which could have led to my positive test."

When riders start to make up stories like this to protest their innocence it starts to sound like they are lying, a crash wouldn't change the blood volume, because blood circulates and certainly couldn't cause the blood to change group!!
