Correct answer

Riccardo Riccò

Explanation

Riccardo Riccò (born 1983) is an Italian professional cyclist. He raced for the ProTour-team Saunier Duval-Scott from 2006-2008, and was particularly skilled in the mountains. In 2008 he cheated his way to two stage victories in Tour de France and a 2. place in Giro d'Italia after having tested positive for doping. In 2010 he returned to the sport, but it was to be a short comeback: in 2011, Riccò was admitted to the hospital with kidney problems after having given himself a blood transfusion.
