Podium Cafe has a new poll...

The Human Scale Giro? How confident are you that doping played no role in the outcome of this year's Giro d'Italia?

 
 Completely confident                         1 vote  - 3 % 
 Not certain, but feeling good	            12 votes - 38 % 
 Giving the benefit of the doubt	             6 votes - 19 % 
 Uncertain, and wondering	             3 votes - 9 % 
 Suspicious	                             3 votes - 9 % 
 It was a sham, as usual!	             2 votes - 6 % 
 Totally agnostic	                     4 votes - 12 % 
 

-- out of the 31 votes, without being too cynical, only 5 were, IMO, being realistic...and I say that because of the inevitable publication of the 100 or so names in the OP investigation.

I hope (like the others) that Di Luca is clean and that his secret trips to the mountains in South America where he claims to do training at altitude are on the up and up and not some fabricated way of avoiding dope screening in the off-season.
