Vos + Pantani
Marianne Vos postade en bild på sig själv på sin Facebook i VM trojan i Cesinatico bredvid monumenten till Pantani.
Hon vann etappen som hade mål i staden iklädd lagtröjan. Sedan tar hon på sig "The Rainbow Jersey" för att ta bilden.
Då jag har varit med på Nove Colli 9ggr (start o mål i Cesinatico) är jag välbekant med staden och monumeneten som ligger bara 500m från hennes målgång. Bilden är alltså staged. Hon har tagit på sig tröjan för att ta bilden.
Jag har skrivit följande på hennes Facebook.

From Wiki:
"
Pantani tested positive for EPO during retroactive testing of samples from the 1998 tdf. Pantani used EPO throughout his professional career. Pantani's main victories were won with blood hematocrit levels up to 60%. In 1994, his haematocrit values fluctuated from 40.7% on 16 March to 54.55% on 23 May. His values reached 58% on 8 June, after winning two stages of the race, and were 57.4% on 27 July, after the Tour de France. In March 1995, his hematocrit values had dropped to 45%, but they reached 56% in July during the Tour de France, where he won two stages; and over 60% in October, after the accident in the Milano–Torino.

I have the utmost admiration for Marianne Vos and have followed her career and her riding for years. However if we are to shake off the doping reputation that cycling suffers from we need to DISTANCE ourselves from the dopers, even ones that have passed away. When Vos won the stage she was in her club jersey, by the time this picture was taken she is in the Rainbow Jersey. It's okay to have sympathy for Pantani as he has passed on and he was a human being. I would not feel so strongly if she had worn her team jersey but as World Champion she is an ambassador for the sport. I feel uneasy about seeing the famed rainbow jersey next to the monument of a doping cheat who was one of those that took cycling to it's lowest ever point. This photo is in contrast to the positive things being done today to kick this crap out of cycling. I am sure that Vos did not decide to do this on her own and was only following instructions but I wish she had have received better advice from those around her.
Ride on Marianne, have a great year.
