Riccardo Ricco -- "the Cobra" -- has been caught doping in the Tour de France. Watching him climb like a maniac, I should've known something was askew. Stupid, stupid rider.
UPDATE: Bill Strickland:
Because I felt sure Ricco would get caught, I felt free to enjoy his performance. He was beautiful when he rode, and he was doomed, and he carried around a picture of Marco Pantani. I love the quote he gave, after he won Stage 9: “I was impressive, I went very fast.” It reminded me of a stoner saying, “I’m so high,” as if he, too, had become a spectator to the feats of his own body, as if he were standing outside of himself somehow and couldn’t hold back his own wonder at what was happening.
By the way, I wonder when or if they'll nab Schumacher for his insane Stage 4 time trial.
