Este pasado martes la policia federal de Wilton, N.Y. arresto y proceso cargos por distribucion de marihuana a la ex-campeona mundial de downhill Missy "The Missile" Giove de 37años.

Missy, reconocida por su singular apariencia y super agresivo de estilo fue arrestada junto a Eric Canori de 30años, y estan enfrentando una pena que puede ser de hasta 40años y una multa de $2millones de dolares si se encuentran culpables.

"Trafico de drogas te puede descender muy rapido" dijo el agente especial John Gilbride de la division antidrogas. Giove, con un record de 14 titulos nacionales y 11 copas mundiales eran parte de su particular manera de ser...quien va a olvidar su pirahna disecada que usaba como collar y las cenizas de su perro acomodadas dentro su brazier. Esto atenuado a su lesbianismo que era un mito a quebrar dentro del ambito de los deportes, en especial los extremos.



Segun el parte oficial, a Giove se le siguio de cerca antes de su arresto, que el mismo dia los investigadores le siguieron cuando abordo un avion y se dirigio al condado de Albany, donde luego tomo un taxi y se hospedo en un hotel cercano donde se conocio con un informante infiltrado. Luego alguilo un pickup y un trailer y se dirigio hacia el norte, cerca de Saratoga Springs a la casa de Canori. Una vez que salio de la casa de Canori los investigadores pararon su pickup y encontraron cerca de 400libras (180-200kgs) de marihuana en el trailer y en la casa de Canori.

Wednesday, June 17th 2009, 5:50 PM. A former champion downhill mountain biker known for her outrageous looks and daredevil riding style was busted on Tuesday and charged with marijuana distribution by federal agents in upstate Wilton, N.Y. Missy "The Missile" Giove, 37, and co-defendant Eric Canori, 30, face up to 40 years in prison and a $2 million fine if convicted. "Drug trafficking can lead you downhill fast," Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent John Gilbride said. Giove is the most successful and perhaps colorful rider in competitive mountain biking's history. She grabbed a record 14 National Off-Road Bicycle Association championships and 11 World Cup wins, but her success was only part of her appeal. Giove, who sported a punk hair-do during her competitive riding days, rode with a dead piranha around her neck - to remind her to be aggressive - and the ashes of her deceased dog tucked inside her sports bra. Giove was also openly lesbian, a rarity in the homophobic world of sports.

In many ways, she was the face of her sport - she was featured in a Reebok ad and in several lifestyle magazines. Giove was also interviewed by David Letterman. A criminal complaint filed Wednesday in Albany says that officers with an upstate drug task force learned that Giove, Canori and others conspired to possess and distribute a large amount of marijuana. Investigators watched Giove, who lives in Chesapeake, Va., get off a plane at the Albany County Airport and take a cab to a hotel, where she met a confidential informant and picked up a pick-up truck and box-trailer.

Giove drove the truck to Canori's home in Wilton, just north of Saratoga Springs. Some of the contents of the trailer were unloaded at Canori's home. Investigators followed Giove when she left the Wilton residence and her truck was stopped by investigators. Approximately 400 pounts of marijuana were found in the trailer and at Canori's house. Giove and Canori made their initial court appearance in Albany on Wednesday before United States Magistrate Judge David Homer. A detention hearing is scheduled for Thursday.

Yo q soy bien roco me acuerdo bien de Missy "The Missile"... Exc DHer... Lastima q si, dem loca, no es de extranarse q se metiera en esos problemas... Me acuerdo hace unos anos cuando todavia corria con Volvo-Cannondale q la agarraron los pacos en una Volvo Station Wagon 840 o algo asi, a 160Mph en una autopista... era bien loca la guila...

Mae siii....y bueno, esto no es muy nuevo, no se si recuerdan hace poco lo que le paso a Sam Brown (q.e.p.d), donde con un poco mas de "ingenuidad" diria yo lo agarraron por parte de la DEA....y al final termino suicidandose (muy extranamente diria yo tambien) en una celda mientras era procesado por estos cargos...

Es triste ver como estos grandes riders se ven envueltos en muchos de estos asuntos...

Que jeta esa camote!
