I wonder what's in that gelato he's selling.

Ricardo Ricco- that guy was a special case, a standout turd in the field of doping cow dung.

He's not wrong though. Would you rather see guys on drugs overseen by doctors race bikes without motors, or clean guys race mopeds?

But he's not right, either, imho. Cheating is cheating - and he seems to have no compunction about doing so.

Totally, but we have a century of evidence that dope is inextricably tied up in the sport. At least dopers are pedaling their own bikes. More than I can say for the electric assist crowd.

Why is this guy even relevant? Click bait for a cycling website? I couldn't care less about what he has to say on any subject. Adios "Cobra".

Sounds like a guy that kills with a knife talking about whether guns are a respectable way to kill.

TUE Abuse < Individual EPO use < Team organized use < Motor in bike..... How about holding on to your team car as they bridge you up to the next group? If you violate the rules, you are a cheater. There is not grey area. Doping is but one form of cheating.

I don't know, but $150 for a 1ml vial of gelato seems kind of expensive.

it's funny, had to think a while before I remembered who he was. And is girlfriend also got caught doping when he was banned.
I feel that motors are more of a betrayal of the sport than doping. Of course, I also feel like doping is ruining the sport, just much more slowly. If I knew that some of the epic performances were because the team managed to hide a motor, then I would stop watching at all starting tomorrow. The fact that some teams seem to be better at doping than everyone else is problematic. Racing this year was pretty boring, I think. |

Mark your calendars so that we can all look forward to his return in 2024.

Sanctioned doping would be extremely dangerous to riders because they would be pressured to take more and more health risks to keep up. It would be a level playing field that would keep rising until someone stroked out on a climb.

What would change then? Someone stroked out on a climb fifty years ago.

Ricco's big crime was being too honest. When everyone else is caught they make a phony apology. It was just to recover from injury, they gave in to temptation, they made a mistake, they're so sorry for letting down their fans, etc. Ricco was unapologetic and basically said, "You caught me. I was doping. So what?"
Even today, after everything that has come out, there are fans who still cannot accept Ricco telling it how it is. Sad. |
