Gazzetta dello sport : Pantani è stato ucciso, costretto a bere cocaina (Pantani was killed, forced to drink cocaine)


In other cycling news, Astana signs Boom, Sanchez, Rosa and Malacarne. Bouhanni to Cofidis.

Man does this news bum me out.... Pantani is one of my idols, I don't even celebrate Valentine's day, for me it's "Pantani mourning day"

I just read the article in Italian, it's actually pretty plausible

Before he died, there was an altercation in his hotel room and he called the reception twice to ask them to call the police. He died of an overdose of cocaine, and they found a water bottle on the scene with cocaine that had been dissolved in water. Even if he was taking cocaine, why would he drink it? It's much easier to force someone to consume it by making them drink it than by forcing them to snort it, especially if there was a physical confrontation in the room. When they found him, there was blood on the ground and they found new evidence that suggests the body was moved after he died. There's also the fact that some of the objects in his room weren't things he had brought himself to the hotel based on the testimony of his family that saw him leave prior to going on the trip. So someone definitely met him there somehow.

I just want to know the truth. I was sad when I thought he took his life, but I'd be livid if it turns out that he was killed.

After the Amanda Knox thing and travelling around the country no offense but I wouldn't trust Italian police if they told me the sky was blue. His biographer says the story sounds fraudulent so I'm going on that though

Sagan signed a 3 year contract with Tinkoff-Saxo.

quote:

“It will be exciting to work with Peter also for me personally. He has a huge talent and he’s already very strong but I believe he has even more potential than what we’ve seen so far. He still has a lot to learn about the tactical aspects of cycling to fully optimize his power but I believe that we are fully able to help him improve even more. Next year, we’ll have a very strong team to support him and to aim for big wins throughout the season”, concludes Bjarne Riis.

Hearing Riis talk about potential is ughh

He should go to the Vuelta, but this year he'd get crushed if he did. I don't think he can hold anything to Froome or Quintana.

BMC have a nice little break going on with four out of 15 riders. 3:00 up only Garmin chasing.

this is supposedly Cadel, after winning the stage. I guess he was going to ride to wherever he was staying? ...and got pulled over by the cops...
