Breaking: Valverde Under Pressure?

From La Gazzetta Dello Sport:

"MILANO - La Guardia Civil, la polizia spagnola, confermerebbe che Alejandro Valverde e' coinvolto a pieno titolo nell'Operacion Puerto, nascosto dal numero '18' e dalla sigla ''Valv-Piti''. Lo riferisce il sito tuttobiciweb.it che ha raccolto indiscrezioni fatte dalla polizia spagnola al quotidiano L'Equipe. (Agr)"

Basically, this says that the Civil Guard confirmed that Valv-Piti is, in fact, Valverde.

Another one bites the dust?

[editor's note, by chris] CN has a bit more information, though nothing suggesting Valverde is actually guilty. All we know now is that the Italian press claimed to have made the connection to Valverde by reading the recently released dossiers. Now, the Caisse d'Epargne team is getting pressured by its sponsor, a French company, to investigate the matter. Also, ominously for any OP suspects, the Spanish judiciary has made WADA a party to the investigation, presumably a step toward WADA opening up disciplinary actions against named riders.

More details as we hear about them.
