In his most recent interview, Bernhard Kohl stated that all top 10 riders in last year's Tour de France could have tested positive. This sweeping assessment would include fifth-place finisher Christian Vande Velde of the staunchly anti-doping team Garmin-Slipstream. Garmin-Slipstream manager Jonathan Vaughters countered the Austrian's comments when speaking to Cyclingnews on Tuesday.
