Ricco busted buying POE in a McD's parking lot. Why am I not surprised.

Its funny how many French and Italian masters dope their brains out for Strava and grand fondos. Talk about the epitome of compensating for never doing anything awesome in life.

..and everytime there's a doping control they suddenly dissapear (happened recently near MIilan).
At least now FCI took the decision to give lifetime ban to whoever got over 6 months ban for doping.

Plenty of that happening over in NA too I reckon. Lots of known +'s and plenty of rumours of masters doping in canada.

Wasn't Ricco going to attempt the Ventoux record? I guess if he doped it he'd be on level footing to compete for the record

My wife's friends ask her to do a 5k run. My friends ask me to do a 3,000 mile bike race.

It amazes me that this shit actually happens so much at that level.

I've heard "stories" of it happening in Australia (in both Masters & Club A) but I don't race road competitively enough to worry nor care too much about it.

The first Gran Fondo positive I heard about was right here in the good ol' USA (Alberto Blanco). Why single out France and Italy? Its happening in your neck of the woods too kwalker.

Back to "PRO" discussion... Ricco and old-fart amateurs (such as myself) are not pros.
