now who doesn’t remember the Cobra Ricardo Rico one of the most mouthy and outspoken hilarious charismatic dopers in the history of cycling one who almost lost his own life while doping after being sanctioned for doping his story is well known but now he’s returned to the news headlines after an interview in the Spanish media REO an outlet known for interviewing dopers and taking a stance on thetes who win by cheating recent interviews have included the father of Marquel beloki or the Latter-Day car salesman YY beine however the Italian Rider has always been a different kind of cyclist one of those who once caught even if caught consciously lying has no problem talking about his own doping and that of his rivals in this recent interview Rico accused 30 Riders of his generation of doping and then he also wanted to talk about his former directors Dracula gianetti and Moonlight matchin the same ones who were still at the top of the sport thanks to the money of the multi-millionaire Arab shakes and their current Superstar Tad Pacha let’s analyze those statements starting with the bravado and then ending with the accusations the Cobra always makes us laugh out loud especially when he insists that he would have won the 28 tour to France by a large margin because according to him he was by far the best best climber in that addition recall that the Sony Duval rider was ninth on GC 2 and a half minutes behind leader cadel Evans and one minute behind the eventual overall winner Kos sastre that was at the time that Rico was expelled for doping with EO masira Oro had won in two stages one of them with a tremendous display on the C aspan just the day before his two teammates today’s movie star director Leon peple and doped bison juano Kobo had crushed the favorites in a fondly remembered and also hilarious Ascent of otam Rico had an uncommon self-confidence half ignorance and half ego he felt superpowers inside him thanks to the exogenous force that his mentor and doping doctor Dr Carlos sanon had given him thanks to a simple injection of MSA in exchange for €700 in the interview with relo the blonde ice cream seller coincidentally the favorite summer dessert of the current son Duval team Riders Rico shows his Blind Faith to this Italian Doctor Who died in 2017 the Italian doctor had assured him that he would not test positive for doping in the tour to France with that novel substance a substance which had become popular of course in the year of the Olympic Games the Cobra was always an impulsive fellow and eager for quick Fame and he believed the doctor and especially having seen other monsters who had not yet tested positive for doping such as Alberto conrol and Immanuel a Gollum seller in the jodia and so he promptly injected M coincidentally he tested positive on his worst day in the race in the sh time trial where he didn’t even finish in the top 100 to explain his positive Rico alludes to a conspiracy by Omar Sports one that was dis favorable towards the rac’s lower budget teams such as gerl Steiner who needed to find sponsorship from repeat Doper Stefan Schumacher and Bernard Cole or Sonia Duval the team that with only5 million euros budget flew over the mountains with cyclists alsoo close to quarantine such as the bald P the Cobra claims that it was the tour who decided that he was not going to win that addition and that his team could not be on the final podium in Paris now of course as usual this is a half truth in France nobody believed the performance of Sonia Duval in that edition of the tour and evidently it was a political persecution in the middle of the UCI Omar Sports conflict over the Proto system and of course the to of France that year had improved the anti-doping controls adding new substances to the band lists and many doctors in the cycling World took the bait with M and then there was the Dutch press angered by the expulsion of chicken rasmason from the future Vima Lisa bike team that had happened in 2007 of course the previous Edition and they leaked Sierra positives from the first Slovenian cycling great Tad valc and two positives from Mark cavendish’s team Columbia Kim Ken or George hppy and then up to five Riders from the tour winning team the CSC a friend of the channel bi ree but sadly that was all forgotten by prudom he thought that with the expulsion of sonier and gerl Steiner and bowl of Moises dwas and the white Kenyon that was enough but when we look a little closer we see that the tour director not only attacked the weaker teams but also the powerful ones such as brunal a staner and conrol who were not allowed to participate or Roger Le’s always clean men at creddy agricol course there was a positive for heptaminol of the kazak Dimitri fanof and so you can see that there’s a degree of Truth in what Rico is saying it’s it’s not completely correct is it but this didn’t stop him from going on the attack spitting venom and poison just as he did in his pocker as a cyclist you see for the Cobra the first 30 classified in that 2008 toour of France should have been disqualified for doping we’re not talking just about the winner Kalos sastre whom the bald bana had defended in his own autobiography insisting that at last there was a clean Champion inside cycling it would be tragic and unprecedented that a Dane always a Dane was lying about doping but it would also be painful if Rico was right if Rico was right then Riders such as the Tor of France winners Mr I talked to Ferrari but not about doping Evans and Mr I don’t know who Ferrari is even if they connect me to him nibby we’re already doped up to the eyebrows in 2008 oh it would be hard if Riders such as the all always clean in Life Christian Vandal former Doper but Doper no longer Samy Sanchez or doped in operation Puerto like py valv were also doped in 2008 the Luxembourg brothers friends of motoran were they also a lie or the legendary gregario of the white Kenyan Constantine sutsu was he another dirty monster created by doping well according to Rico there were 30 riders in that tour and he’s accusing them Direct ly of course he believes that he deserved to win that tour and if omary Sports continued with its policy of nothing happens here as in the days of US postal perhaps he would have become a superstar and he wouldn’t have to devote himself to getting up at 7 every morning to sell ice cream the journalist Julio Campo did not ask him about his relationship with giti and matchin it was Rico himself who wanting to exonerate his former directors the ones who kicked him out of the team we imagine in a similar way to the dopa Mayo did just a month or two ago Brio blames directly both managers of the Sonia team the Cobra says that each Rider acted freely but that his managers knew what the system was and just what was going on in other words what this wonderful mind tells us is that yes gianetti didn’t force Rico to dope with Dr sunion Rico doped of his own free will what a novelty the managers of never being going around with guns forcing the Riders to dope but obviously cycling is a results-based game and if you don’t get results so many riders have said the directors kick you off the team and so in order to get results if as Rico says the top 30 Riders of the tour were doping he obviously had to dope too for Glory and to keep his job if the Cobra claims that director’s matchin and gianetti knew what the system was isn’t he implicitly saying that they knew that there was doping going on and did absolutely nothing to stop it except of course expelling him from the team once he was caught cheating but Rico is Right perhaps they went after sonier because they were poor because there was no money from oil exploiters backing them up and defending them after all they didn’t go after CSC or rabber bank or Colombia without saying it he’s saying everything it’s hilarious isn’t it

Can't believe this channel isnt blowing up.
Also: bring back the Irish guy
You showed his picture, but never mentioned his name – Chris Horner, oldest Grand Tour winner ever. Doper extraordinaire, never touches the subject!
'Friend of the channel Bjarne Riis!' LOL! These are brilliant! So funny!
Cant wait to see the "Danish dictator" in the TDF with 0 days on the bike since April, flying like a F1 car, just bc of the wind and some good breakfast 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Always a Dane 🤣😂😹
Chicken Rasmussen sounds like a Jamie Oliver dish with ingredients supplied by Lance Armstrong.
Utube algorithm has me watching after this vid dr inigo san milan talks zone 2 trainiing
But today's cycling race they don't need blood epo because they use motor dope bike like lance Armstrong use from 1999 to 2005.
How does Andreas Kloden fit into the Cycling Highlights doping story? He sems to have been the natural winner of the 2008 tdf if the peloton didn't give Carlos Sastre back 30 minutes on an early stage.
Would love to see some commentary on the women’s peloton too.
What happened to the Irish guy? I like the new guy too tho just as much.
One day in the future the world will widely realize that Lance used less PEDs that the average cyclist of his generation and while still an ass was truly one of the greatest
Hilarious and so were Eurosport's muzzled commentators and their geraint thomas in drag presenter never asking guest J Vaughters about any of his doping.
I stopped watching cycling, well pro cycling when Lance started winning everything. I now stop again with Poggy. This is my only outlet, as its funny as!
The "White Kenyan." I love it!! Talk about your oxymoron's. 😆😆😆
06:36 – Fans of the channel, kindly remind me of the meaning of "PT" in "PT Valverde". Thanks.
"Doped Riccò EXPOSES Pogacar's Managers"
How to say Pogacar is doping without saying Pogacar is doping!
My 11 year old son is doing his personal school project on the TDF. Honestly, the kid wants to use the names Dictatorial Danish Anchovy and Welsh alcoholic in it.
I like ice cream too! Where do I get my EPO fix?
Can you guys please do a video on the 2024 improvement in Decathlon AG2R? Did only the bikes change, or also the Doctors and Team Managers?? Hard to understand such a stunning change in performance, across multiple riders. 🤷♂️
Alberto Contatroll! ….. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAA!!!!!
Took you long to get to the always the danes part. There were possibilities before that marker 😄
In the 1960 Olympics a Danish cyclist died during a road race, turned out he had taken some doping that affected his blood. (NPR) The first signs of doping? The Russians were the leaders in doping during every Olympic game from 1964, especially their female weight lifters
Pogi should be banned and Armstrong should get his trophies back! If they accept this with Pogi might as well. Pro cycling is starting to stink real bad.
