Dario Frigo (born September 18, 1973 in Saronno, Italy) is a former professional road bicycle racer. Frigo gained notoriety in the 2005 Tour de France when, lying 52nd overall racing for Fassa Bortolo, he was arrested before stage 11 after French police found ten doses of EPO in his wife's car. His greatest successes have come in one-week stage races such as Paris-Nice, Catalan Week and the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana.
