They all do drugs. He was just fool enough to get­ caught. Let him ride.

AS MUCH AS I LIKE VINI HE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RACE­ NOR SHOULD ANY ONE ELSE WHO GOT CAUGHT.

why not?at least he dosen´t ride ion the other peoples­ wheels...and everyone deserves second chances...or you­ think the hole cyclist that are profis they ride­ clean?for me they all take doping...and then they train­ hard, and then we get some top cyclists with diferent­ talents...mountain,hills,sprint,etc... do wou think is­ human possible to ride 21 days with 2 rest days more­ than 3000 km with an averaged speed of 42 km/h??if you­ take the "special products" cycling becomes­ boring...

he was my hero...until he was found out for doping!they­ should not let him back!no drug cheets should be aloud­ to ride in major tours!

Letting Vino back will send the wrong message to the­ outside world about cycling.
We have all been duped by­ these @#$% earning money & our admiration until­ they are exposed as cheats and liars.
There is no way­ the TDF organisers will allow him to ride - thank­ goodness.

enid - i wish i could be as open minded as that.
but­ really, Vino was guilty of the simplest and most­ obvious form of doping known to human kind....do i­ really think these guys are rational enough to­ "feel like #@$@# for being exposed as a­ cheat?"

i don't think they really care,­ truthfully, aside from not being able to get paid to­ ride when on suspension.

i'm not saying "no­ second chances" - but i can't just decide that­ it's all not worth stressing about and assume­ everyone has made the necessary mind­ switch......

maybe we just put them all on the same­ team :)

He's first got to find a team that will trust him­ to not drag their squad down the toilet, good luck.­ Perhaps that's Astana's grand plan, withold­ payment until Lance and Bruyneel go away and then swoop­ in with the Nuevo Vino!! What about Kashechkin? He­ probably needs a job.

Let him in. Let Floyd Landis in. Let Tyler Hamilton in.­ Let Ullrich in. Let Lance in. Let Beloki in. Let Heras­ in. Let Santi Perez in. Let Basso in. Let them all in.­ For a charity ride up a mountain. Forgive and forget­ and give all the money to charity. Let bygones be­ bygones and give them a fresh start, after they serve­ their suspensions. They need to have fresh starts.­ They're athletes first. They've trained hard.­ They probably feel like @#$% after getting exposed as­ cheats. Put them all together in a 'Tour of­ Forgiveness' The fans'll come and they might do­ some nice charity work!

It is rather interesting to see how negatively people­ react to Vino's intent to come back, while­ Basso's return is celebrated and he is treated like­ a hero by many. There is no difference between the two,­ all cheats should be treated the same way. No double­ standards please.

He has as much chance of riding the Tour again as­ Rasmussen, ZERO.

Why is everyone treating him differently than all the­ other riders who have been caught and 'done their­ time'?
It would take a fool to believe any of the­ recent winners have been clean as EPO has such a vast­ benefit in stage races, so if Vino is to be not allowed­ back we had better start looking at banning a whole­ generation of riders.

Vino is INNOCENT!!!
Let him ride in this year's­ TDF!

please do not allow any guilty drug taking riders into­ the TOUR DE FRANCE, lets try and keep the race clean­ for the good of sport.

Firstly, can u p1ss off with your 4rsenal rubbish.
Vino­ is a cheating rat - Evans and Cancellara owe him a­ punch on the nose.
But look how many cheats are back­ racing, so it won't be long before this one is too.

Come on this guy is got to be joking after what­ happened in 2007.....he is a total disgrace to the­ sport and no cycling fan really wants to see him ride­ again.......

His positive brought huge discredit to the sport at a­ time when it was under scrutiny, he should never be­ allowed to ride again.

Under no circumstances should this cheat be allowed­ race again, let alone the Tour De France, the cheak of­ the 'man'.
