The guy is a complete tool and we shouldn't be giving him the oxygen of publicity.
He made a mess of being a pro racer but he loves cycling and riding his bike. You cannot take that away from him.
He lost control of his life maybe this will get him back on track. As for credibility he has the same as any other doped rider in my opinion. He just was not as smart as the others and is arrogance led him to believe he was invincible. Go Ricco.
I hear LA does too
Seems the perfect reason to rehabilitate these people
Very appropriate
He's not boring though. Yes he is a drug addled tool, but the Peleton is all the more dull without him IMHO.
It's a shame that I now feel that exciting racing = drug assisted
Aye, funny that isnt it? All the so called "Exciting" riders turn out to be drug cheats. Then, when clean, are reduced to mere mortals.
Criterium de Doping Libere?
Old idea. That concept has been around for decades. It's called the Tour de France.
In the first place he's not asking for, nor does he care whether or not you, or anyone else for that matter, gives him credibility. Way more people out there who don't care whether he doped or not than there are in your group of riding perfectionists who have got to have some perfect sport or they're all p*ssed off.
This is most likely about money.
Credibility in sports? What alternate universe do you live in. :?

That's ok, no one who knows or cares about cycling will take anything he does on a bike seriously. He is a cartoon character in need of professional psychiatric help.
You seem to have anointed yourself the speaker for us all. Don't assume you know what we all think. :roll:
As for taking cycling "seriously". Just what does that mean? I don't even take life all that seriously, let alone cycling.
Maybe you should read the libel post...?

and yet you presume to know what Ricco thinks.

Oh dear Dennis, is Ricco your post Armstrong life boat? If so I don't think you'll be sat in it long before your feet start to get wet.

Nice one Mr Peril. Nail on head.
Well, make your mind up. If you don't take cycling seriously I wouldn't be speaking for you anyway, would I? :roll:
Come on Dennis, at least try to compose a decent response
A few points here:
1. He doesn't care ? Really ?? BS is the obvious answer to that. Most sports persons crave acceptance by the fans and peers
2. I'm not after a perfect sport, just one that deters or catches and then punishes cheats effectively
3. Money - probably have to agree with you on that
4. You really think there is no credibility in any / all sports ? I didn't think even you were that cynical. I know most sports are tainted; some more than others but if that's how you feel I'm surprised you watch any sport at all. I prefer to think that it's really not as bad (at least these days) as it has been - Kenyan drug testing aside
The words from a song come to mind here.
"...and life's too short for you(Ricco, LA, and the rest) to worry me"
I don't know the song, but...

The Vikings are coming!
Fair enough. In any case I'm not out here to worry anyone.
