another doping bust!!

Back in March, a young rider from Canada killed himself in a Spokane jail after he got busted by the DEA in a sting. He hung himself overnight.

He was busted flying a stolen helicopter loaded with 150 kilos of marijuana (so about 350 lbs) over the US/Canada border.

I remember seeing Sam Brown and thinking how awesome this kid was because he built this sweet wooden wheel as a part of a free-ride course. You can see it and him in New World Disorder 3...I've got a copy if you're really itchin to see it.

I always kept my eyes & ears open hoping this guy would hit the DH or 4X circuit...too bad.

She had nearly 1 million dollars at her house. That is not a small time local dealer, she was playing with the big boys/girls.
As I said too bad she was always so nice at events.

you guys, it was POT, not meth, heroin or crack. i grew up in Humboldt county and this would've never seemed unusual come harvest time...

i dunno, to treat it like "here's another doping bust" doesn't seem appropriate to me - pot's not a performance-enhancing drug (well, not cycling anyway). perhaps she's just a farmer, a transportation/freight specialist, and a whiz at personal finance.

It does suck! I raced with Missy "back in the day" she is awesome, like Randy said she was always out there wanting to meet and get to know people at races,I think she was still doing some racing too.
Guess that's one way to fund your racing

That really sucks
I met her many times over the years and she was always so nice and loved to talk with other riders and the kids
She was real..at the nationals she didn't hide in a trailer, she was out there looking to meet people.
Pretty sad, but 200 pounds no mistaken on that one what she was up to

Former mountain biking world champion Melissa "Missy" Giove was in custody Thursday on federal drug charges after authorities said they seized more than 200 pounds of marijuana from a truck she was driving in upstate New York.

More pot was found in her home, along with nearly 1 million dollars in cash.  I'm in the wrong line of work.............

Missy the Missile... I was wondering what had ever happened to her. Sadly, it looks like we all know now. :(
