Ricardo Ricco’s former team sure hasn’t had much luck with keeping sponsors lately.  Scott Bicycles has announced that they will no longer sponsor the Spanish ProTour team, Scott-American Beef, formerly named Saunier Duval.

Saunier Duval dropped their sponsorship of the team in July, after Ricco and teammate Leonardo Piepoli were caught using EPO-CERA during the Tour de France.  Scott announced that they would continue to sponsor the Spanish team, but it looks like it wasn’t meant to be.

I suppose they’ll be called the American Beef team now?  It sounds a bit strange for a cycling team name…
