Former cyclist Andrea Piccolo arrested by Italian police

Andrea Piccolo is in hot water. The Italian former pro was arrested this week in Naples by the Carabinieri, a national police force of the Italian Republic, after counterfeit banknotes were found in his car. This is reported by Tuttobiciweb.

The Italian cycling site states that officers intercepted Piccolo in the city center. They found the former rider with counterfeit money. "In this specific case, a patrol of the Carabinieri noticed a parked luxury car, a Porsche Macan, with license plates from San Marino."

"This aroused the curiosity of the Carabinieri and they decided to check the car. The driver was Andrea Piccolo, a resident of San Marino. The banknotes were hidden under the steering wheel." At that time, Piccolo was in the car with two other people.

We mainly know Piccolo from his time with EF Education-EasyPost. While riding for the American team, the former top talent did not achieve any pro wins, but he did wear the red leader's jersey for a while in the 2023 Vuelta a España.

From cyclist to OnlyFans star
Piccolo – who made a huge impression as a junior and was predicted a bright future – was stopped at the Italian border two years ago by authorities on suspicion of transporting human growth hormone. This gave his American team all the reason to immediately terminate his contract.

The Italian quickly found a new calling. Piccolo became active on… OnlyFans. This is a social media platform where 'fans' pay a monthly subscription to see content from a specific person. In most cases, this involves explicit content. That Piccolo is active on OnlyFans might not even be so surprising. The Italian has been in a relationship for some time with porn star Valentina Gomez.
