Ricco

[ElChingon]

I "heard" he was distracted reading the "Reasoned Decision"

 

[The Hitch]

to the bolded. sorry about that, they already arrived^^^

Yeah i agree with Ricco and Vino (to a lesser degree) being the punch bags while others like Boonen, Wiggins and C pedal off scot free.

Contador pedaled off scot free ?

I must have been watching reading attending commenting on and listening to a totally different sport this year.

Well he talks about life bans when he is on the Guinness and amnesties when he is on the Jamesons.



I doubt Ricco will get back as any team wanting to hire him will be ostracised like Aqua&sapone for taking on Di Luca this year. Though that wont stop lots trying for the publicity.

Aqua and sapone was not invited to the giro because net app paid more money. Had **** to do with Di luca who as i recall wasn't even fully signed with the team when the wild cards were announced (and they were decided upon even earlier)

The 12 year stoppage for the sake of his health aborts in air with amnesty brewing.

 

[snackattack]

WA$$A chief John Fahey amnesty for every drug cheat

"But do you leave it as simply cycling, or do you say: 'Well look, let's have an amnesty across the board and if there is a problem in any other sport let everybody come clean and let's start again,?" Fahey added.

 

[Ferminal]

Is he going to get out of his ban by saying who supplied his fridge?

Maybe it was one of those special Ferrari ones.

 

[ElChingon]

Ricco gets to come back the irony!

 

[blackcat]

Is Cavendish gonna say anything about Armstrong like he did about Ricco?

Is Millar gonna say anything about Armstrong like he did about Ricco?

If your answer is no, your question is YES

 

[maxmartin]

Hit by a car on Friday, was unconscious for 20 minutes

that is terrible, hope he get well soon

 

[staubsauger]

Have there been any news what happened with his CAS appeal?

Joop Zoetemelk even had 3 positives! Il Cobra's ban should be removed to 2 1/2 year, so that he's back this summer! Di Luca also had 2 bans. Ricco second wasn't even a real positive.

[blackcat]

long livre la cobra

 

[ElChingon]

Anyone know what he's been up to during his ban? Working/school/living off the fat of the land?

That's a tiny stem. Clearly he's no longer PRO

 

[BroDeal]

It looks like he lost a little weight. His face is still a bit puffy.

Hope to see him racing again.

Is Millar gonna say anything about Armstrong like he did about Ricco?

If your answer is no, your question is YES

I think Millar has been very clear about Armstrong and has been consistent abut what he has said.
I am more concerned about the succour that Graham Watson gives to Armstrong. Now there's an issue worth getting hot under the collar about.

But no shift cables, only running 1 gear. Probably climbing up the Zoncolan in a 53/11. Dudes gonna tear it up on Saxo. If they don't take him, is Michael Ball still in bidness? Anywhere?

Looks like Campag EPS, battery on the downtube, shifters in place

 

[ultimobici]

It's Dura Ace Di2.

Hopefully he'll be as attentive to charging the battery as he was with the details of transfusion and run out of juice.

Retire, fool!

Ricco has no place in cycling because he kept at it long after others had called a truce.

you are kidding.

Read all the media that Millar issued re: Armstrong before Tygart handed down the reasoned decision. He was happy to be friends with Armstrong, and take his phonecall and be one of the Ekimov crowd of chamois sniffers in the peloton before it became untenable re:expedience. Remember, Millar is a politician. Politicians lie. Millar is a shapeshifter and turns in a direction whichever way the wind blows.
