You would think with her boyfriend testing positive for the same banned substance she would be a little more cautious. Like not doing drugs at all

Vania Rossi tested at Italian cyclo-cross championships

Riccardo Riccò's partner Vania Rossi has tested positive for EPO CERA, the Italian Olympic Committee announced via its website on Friday.

The Comitato Olimpico Nazionale Italiano (CONI) carried out the test after Rossi finished second in the Italian women's national cyclo-cross championships on January 10.

CERA is the latest generation of the blood boosting drug erythropoietin. Riccò tested positive for the same banned substance during the 2008 Tour de France.

Rossi recently gave birth to their child - a boy - but quickly made a successful return to cyclo-cross racing. On Thursday Rossi was not named in the Italian team for this weekend's world cyclo-cross championships 'for health reasons'. She is expected to be suspended by CONI before the analysis of her B sample is carried out.

Riccò is set to return with the Flaminia team this season when his 20-month doping ban ends on March 17.

Hang draw and quarter them, then pump them full of drugs so they can return to racing

If she was doping whilst she was pregnant would the kid be worse off or would it have a higher natural epo level when it was born? just wondering?

No returning t racing after being hung, drawn and quartered...

... no matter how good your drugs you use of the skill of the surgeon that sews the quarters back together.

I won't be following Ricco at all in any race (not that I would anyway), surely he is still on the juice. Can't tell me the missus shoots up in the kitchen and he's not involved at all

Agree...Dude should be tested everytime he takes a wizz

And you'd never guess the response.


Vania Rossi: “If I’d taken CERA or anything else, I’d deserve to be put in jail.”

Riccardo Riccò's girlfriend has denied taking the banned blood-boosting drug EPO CERA, revealing she breast fed her baby boy just before undergoing the anti-doping test on January 10 that showed the positive test.

The Italian Olympic Committee announced on Friday that Vania Rossi failed a test for EPO CERA after she finished second at the Italian national cyclo-cross championships. Ricco tested positive for the same drug at the 2008 Tour de France.

"I can’t believe it. I’ve nothing to do with the accusations made against me," Rossi told the Italian La Repubblica newspaper.

"I’ve never taken banned substances and I especially haven’t done it now because I’m a mum and I’ve been breast feeding my baby boy since last July."

"People who know me and know my past, understand only too well that the whole thing is absurd. I’d never risk my son’s health for a bike race. That Sunday, while I was waiting for the control, I breast fed my son. If I’d taken CERA or anything else, I’d deserve to be put in jail."

"What happened? I don’t know but there are too many things that don’t add up."

On Friday afternoon the Italian Olympic Committee officially suspended Rossi from competition, just hours after her positive test was announced. She now faces an investigation by the Italian anti-doping investigators.

Doping is illegal under Italian law and so Rossi could also face criminal charges.

It's clearly some kind of terrible coincidence or a Mafia set up!

It sure is a shame

Only because she is stunning
