Italian Riccardo Riccò was upset after being handed a two-year suspension for using EPO on Thursday. The 25-year-old had hoped to receive a lighter sentence for admitting to using the drug and cooperating with the anti-doping authorities. ''I'm very disappointed,'' he said according to ANSA. ''I was expecting more sympathy''.
''I made a mistake and it's only right that I should pay, but I can't talk now, I prefer to leave the matter to my lawyers''.
