PORTRAIT. The dark side of fallen cycling god Mario Cipollini (55): “I will kill you. You will hear the sound of your bones when I break them”

The Italian cycling god has fallen from his pedestal for good. Former world champion and winner Mario Cipollini (55) has been sentenced to three years in prison for years of physical violence and death threats. His now ex-wife in particular had to suffer. Cipollini even went after her armed at one point. Or how the übermacho of the cycling peloton in the 90s has now become an “extremely violent bully.”
