The OPERA collabotation has reported evidence of superluminal neutrinos with a mean energy 17.5 GeV ranging up to 50 GeV. However, the superluminal interpretation of the OPERA results has been recently refuted theoretically by Cherenkov-like radiation. We discuss a loophole of this argument from the kinematical viewpoint and find it possible to avoid the Cherenkov-like radiation of the OPERA neutrinos. The key idea of our argument is to admit the fact that the neutrinos travel faster than the observed speed of light while they do slower than the true speed of light in vacuum so strictly speaking they are not superluminal but subluminal. Moreover, we present a model where these two velocities of light can be constructed by taking account of influences from dark matters near the earth.
