Liege-Bastogne-Liege 2010

I must say that I am surprised and a bit disappointed. This race is a Classic that waas won by Eddy Merckx 5 times, earning him the title "Mr. Liege-Bastonge-Liege. This year, the race was won by Alexandre Vinokourov, a Kazakh rider who was suspended for doping 3 years ago at the 2007 Tour de France. He was completely unrepentant, and now most of the professional peloton and fans alike hate his guts. Now that he has actually won something of prominence, it raises the question "Is he back on the juice?" I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt until something is actually proven, but I would not be surprised at all if a positive test pops up somewhere in the next couple of months. If not, well then, Congratulations Vino, good ride.
