    Yes, it's definitely pouring with rain. If only there was some company where I could book a holiday to some sunny location.

    Enquiries and searches within the framework of the investigation "Cobra-Red" that led to the arrest of the romagnolo Enrico Rossi and detention of other people. The freepress Leggo, through its official website, gives news of two searches a casa di Riccardo Riccò and Donated the cannon, with Rossi in Ceramica Flaminia before passing by Modenese to Vacansoleil. In the House of emiliano at Serramazzoni formulate some fifty tablets "anonymous", kept loose in a locker and partly crushed faces, that investigators have judged suspicious and on which you will perform further analysis. 30 ampoules and forty tablets containing exciting cortisonici were instead found at casa del pugliese Cannon, about to ride with split up in Farnese Vini-Neri in 2011.

    well Ricco wouldn't surprise me but with his ex and her brother getting raided last week surely he wouldn't still have anything with him anyway
  • Investigations are under investigation and searches "Cobra-Red" that led to the arrest of Romagna Enrico Rossi and the detention of other people. I read the free press, through its official website, providing an account of two searches at the home of Riccardo Ricco and Donald Cannon, Rossi's team-mates in Ceramica Flaminia before the passage of the Modena Vacansoleil. In the house were found in Serramazzoni Emilian fifty tablets of "anonymous", stored in bulk in a cupboard and partially crushed, that investigators have deemed suspicious, and on which further analysis will be performed. Thirty and forty vials containing stimulants and steroids tablets were found at home instead of Puglia gun, about to run with Scinto in Farnese Vini-Blacks in 2011.

    Just run that through google translate - if there's a cyclist called Henry Smith, he's in big trouble ;)

    I was thinking about it the whole time I was at mummy's house pretending to listen to her anecdotes about the 3 week cruise she's just returned from if that gets me off the hook at all...

    Did she take any interesting drugs, or was it just G&T all the way? :wink:

    Wierd

    Just read someone involved in the case said Ricco himself is not under investigation.

    Cycling News now reporting the fuzz collected a bunch of unmarked pills when they raided Ricco's house and they are being tested. This apparently was some time ago though.

    Could be anything or nothing.

    Once again these media guys need to get their facts straight before trying to tarnish a rider just to get themseleves some publicity.

    Ricco's statement
    “In relation to recent news involving myself that appeared in the media, I feel that I must distance myself from them entirely.

    “I have not been advised of any warrant, neither am I a suspect of any offence related to any ongoing investigations.

    “Regarding the medicines that were discovered at my home: these are commonly used drugs that have nothing to do with doping.

    “I am particularly annoyed with the article published on the website www.leggo.it, written by Angelo Camuso, towards which I intend to assess the possibility of taking action to protect my image.”

    depends who is telling the truth. One article I read said the pills were stuffed into a wall which isn't exactly what you do with normal tables.

    Absolutely, it's definitely the media that have tarnished Ricco's reputation :roll:
