Anyway funny how this thread on RICCO turns into antiskybot bashers (are they similar to bishopbashers) thread, don't you have enough threads for you bots to bash sky on

Anyway what do you think of Ricco going to jail?

You did that yourself, Skippy, when you used the Ricco thread to attack people for having a bias against Sky. Then in an act of brazen hypocrisy, you have the chutzpah to complain about the thread turning in to Sky bashfest.

How good would Ricco be on Sky? First ever GT triple, plus throw in other stage races and countless one day wins. Maybe Dave Brailsford can pull some strings and get Ricco free to ride(for Sky).

That sounds like it'd be awesome, attacking from the drops after his teammates have ridden everyone else off the wheel. Of course, first he'd have to sign the paper saying he's never doped before, but that shouldn't be a problem.
 
I have heard that under the Italian justice system, a jail sentence is very often not a jail sentence. The case may spend several years trundling through various courts until a decision is made that the accused is to some extent guilty but does not have to serve his sentence.

Is this the case here?

They caught way too few people in 2008. This stuff had been used for several years and everyone thought it was undetectable. It makes no sense that only a handful of riders were using it.

There was that persistent rumor that nearly the entire CSC squad tested positive for it.

And even if we were willing to believe the peloton had been tipped off or whatever and only a handful of people were using CERA during the Tour, that would still leave us with the samples from the 2008 Giro which Zomegnan promised to retest and which were never to be mentioned again.

Correct. CERA came from one place.

Ricco should release one name per day at the Tour until they let him ride again.

A.Shleck was riding one hand up d'Huez, texting girls, waving to the crowd. It was so obvious.

Riis was the hook up man.

Same year Cancellera and Jens doing the Sky train up the Tourmalet.

Seriously?!
