It goes on and on
Just a progress report on another “attempted” use of dope… in case you missed it: Italy’s Ruggero Marzoli has been disqualified by the Italian cycling federation (FCI) for six months for his involvement in the Oil for Drugs investigation involving Doctor Carlo Santuccione. The 32 year-old will be able to return to racing October 17. Despite an appeal made on March 31 to the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI), the FCI appeals commission ruled, “he is liable for frequenting Doctor Carlo Santuccione, limited and without membership … therefore it is considered guilty of attempted use of prohibited substances and a sanction is imposed.”
