Career

Giove was born in Manhattan, NY.[1] She raced for Yeti Cycles,[2] along with other racers: Myles Rockwell, Jimmy Deaton, John Tomac and Johnny O'Mara, managed by former owner of Yeti Cycles, John Parker, the Volvo-Cannondale USA cycling team.

Giove raced[when?] wearing the desiccated body of her deceased pet piranha, Gonzo, around her neck,[1] which would become a marketing campaign for Cannondale.[citation needed]

2015, Giove qualified 17th at the World Cup Downhill race at Windham, New York +36.558 seconds off the pace of Rachael Atherton's 3:05.135.[3][4]

2016, Giove was inducted into the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame.[5]

2022, Giove is a main character in the book, Pressure: A Memoir by Eric Canori.[6]

Legal troubles

1999, May. Giove, along with Amazon Inc. filed a lawsuit against Cannondale (AMAZON, INC. v. CANNONDALE CORP. DIRT CAMP, INC., Civil Action Nos. 99-cv-00571-EWN-PAC, 00-cv-02063-EWN-PAC (D. Colo. March 10, 2006) and Dirt Camp, Inc. for a 1999 Cannondale Product Catolog and sought $2 million dollars in damages. During the summer and early fall of 1998, while Giove was still a member of the team, Cannondale designed, published, and distributed its 1999 products catalog. The catalog included several photographs of Giove. Subsequently, Giove and Team Sports Mountain Inc.(TMSI) failed to renegotiate a contract, and the TSMI/Amazon contract expired on December 31, 1998. Cannondale continued to distribute the 1999 catalog containing Giove's photographs after the TSMI/Amazon contract expired.[7]

2009, June. Giove was arrested in Wilton, New York on charges of conspiring to possess and distribute 174 kilograms (384 pounds) of marijuana found hidden in a car trailer during a routine traffic stop. The case netted over $12,515,738 assets seized in the conspiracy.[8][9][10][11]

2012, November. Giove, pleaded guilty in the case and was sentenced to 5 years on probation and 6 months under house arrest. [12]
