Ricco admits to doping

[Smokin Joe]

Better late than never, at least we are going to be spared another Landis / Hamilton / Everybody Else two year long bore.

Sounds like he wants a medal for it...
He's got a point about not being caught earlier though. A bit worrying, yes?

 

[Steve Austin]

We want people to admit it though, don't we. Much better than trying to pretend it was some strange twist of fate than a system full of chemicals.

I'm all in favour of life bans now. I wasn't a while ago, but i've changed my mind. Cyclists know they are doing, they know the consequences, they therefore should get kicked out of the sport.

I'm pleased he has changed his mind about fighting this. He does have a point about the tests too.

 

[Keith Oates]

It shows that for all the tests going on people are still not getting caught and some are therefore willing to take the risk. Not sure I can believe he only did this in the Tour and not the Giro. However he hasn't made it a long draawn out affair like some others so that's a plus for him I suppose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weight on his mine eh - bet he has, and all the staff who lost their jobs.... who is to say he hasn't doped before ?
