    So which pro team was the 7 year old Alexander Vinokourov riding for?

    He's 38.

    Which makes more sense.

    Picked up at 15.

    Totally unecessary trolling on my part (sorry), but does that include, or not include the years he was not a professional cyclist because he was banned? :evil:

    Just because you're banned doesn't mean you're not still a professional cyclist :P
