Alexandre Vinokourov has tested positive for blood doping. David Millar (who knows a little bit about doping himself), was being interviewed when the news broke and responded “If a guy of his stature and class is doing that in what’s cycling living right now, we can just all pack our bags and go home.” (This was the least colorful part of Millar’s response. Read the Velo News story above for his full, uncensored thoughts)

That pounding your hear? That’s the sound of the last nail being driven into the coffin of professional bicycle racing.

Update

Cycle-Licious has posted a handful of other reactions.
