Riccardo Ricco: Croatian snake.
Common reptilian trait of snakes: slippery. Double doper Ricardo Ricco is attempting to slip past the Italian anti-doping authorities by getting a license with the Croatian cycling federation. It’s a delusional and desperate move by the rider nicknamed the Cobra. But then, what kind of logic would you expect from somebody who transfuses stale blood they’d [...]
