vinokourov - don't call it a comeback

Every sport loves a comeback story but there are a few hard and fast rules about which comebacks we can get all excited about and those we must dismiss as unwanted. Cycling comebacks in recent years have been heavily scented with the odour of scandal, and unless you really had a (strange) thing for Rock Racing and their tacky 'lets sell rebellion' image, they have been, by and large, easy to forget. Lance's return to racing changed that of course but even a man not shy of a little self promotion knows that on your comeback trail you should probably have a higher purpose (a plight for example) and at least change a few letters on your jersey so the whole thing doesn't reek of narcissism (logos of bike shops you co-own is just fine, photographs of yourself, not so fine). Oh, and if your comeback is from a doping suspension then an admission of guilt and/or remorse would also be appreciated. Vino 4 Ever? Let's hope not.
