2 Year Ban For Di Luca
http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/27022...an-di-luca.html
The Italian Olympic Committee have requested that a two-year long doping ban be given to 2007 Giro D'Italia victor Danilo Di Luca. The ban must be rubber-stamped by a sporting judge and refers to a doping test Di Luca took after the 17th stage of last year's Giro. CONI made the surprise announcement after months of wrangling over whether Di Luca's results from the test last May had broken any doping rules. |

Re: 2 Year Ban For Di Luca
Woo hoo! Andy Schleck wins. Simoni third, or maybe he is second if Eddy M.'s results are tossed.
This year's Giro will be very interesting without DiLuca.

Re: 2 Year Ban For Di Luca
If Di Luca gets tossed what's the hit count on the Grand Tour winners for the past several years then?
Taking the 2007 Vuelta and 2007 TDF out of the discussion it looks pretty bad for anyone winning a Grand Tour and staying above suspicion. Heck, if you put "suspicion" in, Menchov and Contador can be included too. |

Re: 2 Year Ban For Di Luca
Well, let's have a look:
2007 Denis Menchov (Rus) 2006 Alexander Vinokourov (Kaz) known doper 2005 Roberto Heras (Spa) subsequently the title was stripped from him and went to Menchov 2004 Roberto Heras (Spa) known doper 2003 Roberto Heras (Spa) known doper 2002 Aitor Gonzalez (Spa) known doper 2001 Angel Casero (Spa) 2000 Roberto Heras (Spa) known doper 1999 Jan Ullrich (Ger) known doper So that's 7/9 For the Vuelta. The TdF doesn't get much better. 2007 Alberto Contador (Spa) 2006 Floyd Landis (USA) known doper 2005 LA (USA) By now, who does he think he's kidding? 2004 LA (USA) Various 2003 LA (USA) Positive 2002 LA (USA) Tests 2001 LA (USA) All been covered up 2000 LA (USA) 1999 LA (USA) 1998 Marco Pantani (Ita) known doper 1997 Jan Ullrlich (Ger) known doper 1996 Bjarne Riis (Den) known and confessed doper (a rarity ey?) So, potentially 11/12 for the TdF, 12/12 if the puerto alegations can be made to stick on Contador. Giro fairs slightly better 2007 Di Luca (Ita) known doper 2006 Ivan Basso (Ita) known doper 2005 Paolo Savoldelli (Ita) 2004 Damiano Cunego (Ita) 2003 Gilberto Simoni (Ita) 2002 Paolo Savoldelli (Ita) 2001 Gilberto Simon (Ita) 2000 Stefano Garzelli (Ita) known doper (masking agent, 2002 Giro) 1999 Ivan Gotti (Ita) 1998 Marco Pantani (Ita) known doper 1997 Ivan Gotti (Ita) 4/11 isn't so bad by cyclings standards, but for any other sport there would be a massive scandal. Guess that shows how low cycling has sunk. Total dope rate is 25/32. Damn that's bad. Still, some people do seem to have recognised this, and we can only hope for a better future.

Re: 2 Year Ban For Di Luca
Do we trust that Paolo was clean during his 2 Giro wins?

Re: 2 Year Ban For Di Luca
I think Savoldelli is/was working with Ferari.
