Ricco

[Von Mises]

I still don't think you can turn a donkey into a Ricco just with drugs though, I think you need a good horse as the base to do that.

Lance Armstrong begs to differ.

A Cobra on the loose again.

Ricco needs to stay banned for his own safety

 

[ElChingon]

I could see him be let back in, well it would at least make some good headlines and you must agree if the latest villain falls we'll need another and who better than Ricco!

 

[Polish]

If Ricco names names he will just be called frustrated and untrustworthy, like Landis, Sinkewitz, Hamilton etc.

True, but his relatives DO know him better than anyone. Just saying.

By that analogy, if the biggest villain falls, and then Ricco falls, we'd have to let someone like Raimondas Rumsas back in.

Agree.

He probably still does tranfusions out of sheer habit.

Riccò is, obviously, a head case. But a great responder and, in the end, great entertainment value.

Too bad we won't know how much entertainment he would have given us, were the peloton clean. And this is the issue, and it is one that needs urgent reponse.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

meh, let him back in. Now that Vino is putting his bike away I need someone to entertain me with some crazy *** attacks

Hey! Now there's an idea! Let Rumsas back in as well, interesting....

He will entertain, as that quote/saying from the movie, "Am I not here to entertain you!" (or something like that), entertainment baby that's what we want

Yes, lets give you someone to entertain you (seems to be a common thing here)

Safety, shmafety, he needs to be given an Nth chance!

not even close to ricco's awesome riding style

love him or hate him the guys had an awesome riding style and was extremely entertaining to watch, mostly because he was a very poor itt rider who needed to attack in the mountains.

to be honest i would love to see him ride this years tour

You have got to be trolling!? For the greater good of cycling I sincerely hope that this egomaniac stays out of our beloved sport forever. A just resolution of his case by CAS would be a lifetime ban.

The UCI should just give random mid ranked riders EPO to spice up the race.

Sounds like their sanctioning regime.

Mercy for Riccardo Ricco!

I hope Ricco will return to the peloton. Though I know he´s in danger to follow Jimenez, Pantani and Vandenbroucke, I hope he´ll come back, having learned something from his past (I´m not stupid, he won´t return clean, but hope he avoids health and life threatening risks).

He had and has a big mouth, and the rules are equal for all, but so I hope he´ll face justice.

I can´t stand VandeVelde (spoke about "Patrik Stinky Pits") and Cancellara ("Shoot Ricco to the moon!") still riding, and Sinkewitz and Ricco are treated like rubbish.

Treat Lance like Jan, treat Sinkewitz and Ricco like many of the other guys who aren´t an inch better!!

Jaksche said in 2011, he knew 10 riders of who he was sure they take more HGH than Sinkewitz. HGH has been used in cycling since the beginning of the 90ies, is detectable with the test developed by Christian Straßburger since about 2000, and in all this time, Sinkewitz is the only one caught with HGH in cycling!! I don´t wanna know how many I.E. of HGH have been injected into the bodies of hundreds of pro cyclists within the last 20 years!

Maybe thread will have to be moved to clinic, I leave the decision to the mods...

 

[Andrichuk]

I'm not exactly sure... Are you talking about the hypocrisy in cycling?

Maybe this would better suit the clinic or an already existing thread?

You´re right, I´ve added this...

Have only 1 thing to say:

I've merged with the existing Ricco thread in the Clinic, and deleted the off-topic responses.

Ricco's chance of getting his ban overturned are
-37890 and if by any miracle he does no team will go anywhere near him

 

[peterst6906]

regardless of any answer- I think he's just plutonium-nobody can even get near him at all-too much liability

Rock Racing......oh wait, no.
