Cipollini: Dancing with the Stars and Away from the Tax Officials

By Jessica | Permalink | No Comments | January 16th, 2007 | Trackback

Mario “Lion King” Cipollini might not be in the peloton anymore, but he’s still in the news. From having a go on an Italian reality show to now being investigated for tax evasion - Cipo knows how to keep his name in lights.

Cipo claimed that he was living in Monte Carlo (allegedly) in order avoid paying taxes in Italy, and the Italian authorities are saying he never actually lived in Monte Carlo. The amount of money in question? A cool five million Euros.

And because I know what you’re really hoping for is more videos from The Lion King on the Italian version of “Dancing with the Stars,” here and here are a couple more for you. (This one is particularly amusing - he’s clearly enjoying his 22-year-old dance partner’s company.) It’s all in Italian, but that doesn’t seem to matter. (And no, he didn’t win.)
