Riccò out
July 17th, 2008 |Along with the entire Saunier Duval team…not really a surprise. He did want to be the next Pantani. Well on your way son!
We were laughing about Riccò on the Tuff Guy ride last Tuesday wondering when he would get popped. Seems like the dope controls are working, the dopes are being shown the door.

Sacrebleu!
Suddently Sastre! We’re almost out of climbers before the Alpine stages, and CSC has to be the team in the best position to take advantage.
Maybe we should just be resigned to cheating in cycling and treat positive tests like fouls in basketball or yellow cards in soccer. All testing seems to do is turn these grand tours into wars of attrition.
Not guilty.
Even though the dude was juiced, at least he would attack! Can you imagine the lame racing through the alps now?

yeah! it’ll be lamer than Super Rookie on the monster climbs of the Northfield crit!
How about a tough guy ride play-byplay?
I guess he won’t get his Alpe Dhuz chance after all. I do like how Saunier Duval got out of dodge in a New York minute. You have to wonder if there was some “teamwork” going on and Rico was just the boy to get nipped.
Give it a few dasys, lets see if Piepoli passes the controls.

An interesting note from a cyclingnews interview with some doping specialist: the specialist suggested that it isn’t that the French Anti-Doping Agency had better means or methods than the ISO per se, but that their targeting of specific dudes (Ricco among them) that yielded this result. Someone mentioned to me that he had gotten pulled for testing on four occasions in the first handful of stages.
