  We show that special relativity (SR) may be consistent with the OPERA
measurements of the neutrino velocity provided the latter is corrected for the
second order term in V^2/c^2 implied by the velocity, V, of the alpha particles
from radioactive rocks of the experiment area, when properly accounted for in
the SR velocity addition law. An upper bound has been set on the velocity of
the OPERA neutrinos by using the deformed dispersion relation suggested by the
result of the experiment OPERA itself.
