This happens to me every year...

It's starting to become downright demoralizing. My favorite rider gets booted.

LAVELANET, France (AP) — Italian rider Riccardo Ricco has tested positive for the banned blood-booster EPO during the Tour de France. He was booed by spectators when he was taken off the Saunier-Duval team bus by police Thursday.
Ricco was in ninth place overall and had won two of the 11 stages at this year's race. He was runnerup at the Giro d'Italia earlier this year.

Goodbye Ricco. Maybe see you in two years when you'll be just like everybody else.

Ya foophead.
