Riccardo Ricco tests positive; Saunier Duval team withdraws from Tour de France
I was secretly rooting for Ricco in the Tour de France (although I’d really like to see Kirchen or Vandevelde win), and now I’m devastated.
I understand, to a certain extent, why athletes cheat in professional sports (pressure, inflated confidence, desperation), but I can’t believe they would risk their reputations, careers and their’s teammates’ careers by doping. Not to mention, things like this ruin their sport. Ugh.
