BTW, macmagus, they are not talking about blood doping (i.e. transfusions), they are talking about drug use (steroids, etc.).
That was also included, it is right there in the NY Times article, "Star Alexandre Vinokourov was sent home after testing positive for a banned blood transfusion."
I was unclear in that I was talking about all of the "doping..and more doping..."accusations implied by the title of the thread. I should have said that they are not talking ONLY about blood doping.
