Italian Olympic Committee pushes for a two-year suspension for Eddy Mazzoleni in response to his implication in the Oil for Drugs scandal. The goods consists of instant messages between Mazzoleni and Dr. Carlo Santuccione which implicate the rider. Whether the recommendation is accepted remains to be seen, but Mazzoleni is pretty much guilty without a trial, hanging in the breeze without a contract. If you, like me, haven't honed in on the details of a nearly four-year-old scandal and investigation, there's an excellent primer at CyclingFans Anonymous, one of the top blogs out there.
