Nothing really. Just Cipollini asking Ricco to think about his son and call it quits before he follows Pantani.

Thanks Lightning and Langer.

Cipollini is a little weak on the doping arguments I feel...

Didnt he say when Contador got caught (for Clen, not Puerto ...but Im not turning it into a Contador debate) that doping in cycling was the chasing down of a few that cheat, and that hence its not a widespread problem?? Not too sure, but I think that's the line he took.

I always wonder when people come out with that kind of thing what they really think, whether they know anything about the extent of it, which Id expect they would... but can they really say when all their career buddies are in the business?

Oh, well, just saying as Im not sure if Cipo's views on doping/anti-doping are a little selective.

Cipo doesn't care.

Ricco's done well to avoid a Darwin award.

Cipo’s elder brother, Cesare, who was also a professional cyclist in the 1980s, has spoken out against doping. He said the reason he never succeeded big time was that he found himself in an environment which accepted things which were the complete opposite to how he thought and behaved, and that he belonged to the minority who didn’t play along.

Mario said of his brother, that Cesare never ’lived’ like a profi.

Mario was a client of Ferrari and is said to be Pavarotti in the Puerto lists.

+1 I think just for the sheer arrogance of the man although you just knew that he had to be on every juice going

One of the very few dopers I have any time for and it's purely some sort of ridiculous sentiment

Wonder what the spoke about?

R - Well how did you transfuse?
C - I got Schumi to do it; not ghetto style like you
R - Oh snap.
