Ricco's Girlfriend positive for CERA

[Mellow Velo]

Gives a whole new meaning to "sloppy seconds".
I wonder if Cav will threaten to give her a good beating?

 

[hektoren]

could being on CERA when pregnant have an effect on the kid?

Well, it certainly will baffle the doctor's assessment of the baby's Apgar score. It won't be cyanotic, it will react to stimulus, it will be mobile and active but respiration will be absent and pulse will be below 60!!

Holy bejeezus, what a couple of retards! If Cav won't slap him, I'm first in line!

Like everyone has been saying... We never saw that coming. To bad for her she chose the wrong guy. I wonder if Cera will have any affects on the kid.

i am assuming she was not on Cera while pregnant, and she is not breastfeeding.

I would hope. I will never know.

When I was young, I fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said.

Que Cera, Cera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Cera, Cera
What will be, will be.

Now that's funny.

actually it’s a good question. i don’t think anyone knows the answer because human fetal hemopoiesis is understudied.

curiously fetuses circulate their own epo throughout their gestational age (and babies iirc have 'riis' hct' - in the range of 60%).

it’s my pure speculation that the baby would be fine if she took cera during pregnancy under good medical supervision. but if I was her doctor id be concerned with the toxic effect of peg polymer (cera carrier molecule ) due to accumulation in fetus. even a fully developed kidney can’t pass the huge non-auto molecule easily.

sorry

I thought this was the BoB thread....

irresponsible,---------

 

[moi123]

wasn't she pregnant at that time??

 

[mtrejt]

No, It is doubtful that she doped while pregnant. The article states that she returned to racing shortly AFTER her pregnancy, and placed 2nd at the Italian Cross Nats. It is likely she doped in the run-up to the nationals, and after she gave birth.

Would it pass through the placenta, though?

Ricardo Ricco's Girlfriend, Vania Rossi, tested positive for CERA at the Italian Cross Championships. She is out of the Worlds this weekend.

Anyone think Ricco is going to be riding clean this season?

really you just have to wonder what she is thinking? wow.

so you're saying she doped because of who she's with?

in the hood you'd be called a "ho sympathizer" .

Now the baby should get a medical exemption for an abnorally high crit

 

[Inner Peace]

Too bad about a cycling ban. She could always try swimming. She looks like she'd be good at it *wink

(don't ya just love reverse-sexism aka catiness!)

Yeah, breast-stroke!!

Sadly I don't think there will be any family issues with morality, integrity and dignity when their child decides to move up the junior ranks as quickly as Ricco did...

How long till Ricco throws her under the bus?

"uh... I am just shocked. I mean.... after the shame that I endured.. to see her... throw away her career."

"oh no, why would you... I have NO FREAKING IDEA WHERE SHE GOT THE STUFF! I'm not answering anymore stupid questions."

 

[Hotbrakes]

Dumb and Dumber!

Hopefully ASO will not let Ricco ride the Tour ever again.

I love this story. It's the modern couple sharing everything -- even the syringes. That's sad and sweet at the same time.

Sexually Transmitted Doping

just awesome ..................falling of chair

He did his time. As long as other ex dopers are able to ride the tour I see no reason for not allowing him to ride.



The thing I find interesting is the fact that a 2 year ban on fellow riders isn't enough to persuade others to not dope. Its obvious Riders still think it is worth doping.

Is she the same blood type as Ricco?
