Gianni Savio facing four year ban
I'm shocked I tell you, shocked. CONI, the Italian anti-doping authorities have asked that Gianni Savio, manager of Androni etc., be given a four year ban as a result of information they've been given by the prosecutor of Massa. Is this a completely new doping inquiry?

Accusations from a former rider
Luca De Angeli, who rode for Colombia – Selle Italia in 2003 and 2005. Apparently it was revealed earlier this year (google translation), but I don’t think I heard anything about it back then.
Badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger...
slightly less surprising than hearing that Ricco couldn't learn an espresso-machine
but only slightly . . .

You are supposed to announce looming doping bans for Italians on the eve of the Giro NOT in the middle of the winter.
"Oh man, it’s going to take days to kill all these people!"
The allegations were announced on the eve of the Giro
this is just the interlude, the decision to ban will of course be taken on the eve of the next Giro.
Will be interesting to see what CONI does?
I’m a bit hesitant, it sounds like he is in the clear lawyers/pr dudes in these cases tend to exaggerate so I’d like to see the wording of his aquittal. Sometimes “we’d love to sentence you but can’t because of a technicality /statute of limitations” is turned into “he was cleared and found totally innocent” by the spin doctors.
