quote:Mattia Gavazzi receives two-and-a-half-year ban for cocaine positive
Savio acquitted of suppling drug by National Anti-Doping Tribunal
Colnago CSF-Inox rider Mattia Gavazzi has been hit with a two-and-a-half-year ban for his positive doping control for cocaine by the Italian National Anti-Doping Tribunal.
The then 26-year-old Italian tested positive for the drug after the prologue of the Settimana Lombarda on March 31, 2010. He won stage two of the race two days later.
Gavazzi was given a six-year-suspension by the tribunal but due to his cooperation with the CONI investigation, the ban was reduced. Having been back-dated to his positive test, Gavazzi will be eligible to race September 30, this year.
During his evidence, Gavazzi accused his former manager at the Diquigiovanni-Androni team, Gianni Savio, of providing him with the drug however Dr. Francis Plotinu who chaired the hearing deemed that the rider's testimony was not "credible".
Gavazzi has had problems with cocaine in the past, having served a 14-month suspension as an amateur in 2004. The Italian federation subsequently ordered him to go through a rehabilitation program.
Mattia is the son of Pierino Gavazzi, who won Milan-San Remo in 1980 and five Giro d'Italia stages. He is not related to Francesco Gavazzi of Lampre.

quote:Kroon geen stille getuige
door Hans Ruggenberg
WEVELGEM - Hij was al niet op zijn mondje gevallen. Karsten Kroon is het inmiddels helemaal beu om naar de pijpen van de Internationale Wieler Bond (UCI) te dansen. Na de schorsing van ploeggenoot Alberto Contador is het normaliter zo stabiele Saxo Bank van Bjarne Riis aan het wankelen gebracht. Inmiddels is hij ook woedend over twee gemiste controles, waarbij de UCI volgens Kroon zijn eigen normen hanteert. „Als ik over de hele situatie nadenk, is het bijna crimineel hoe de UCI met de zaak-Contador is omgesprongen”, aldus de 36-jarige Drent, die zich vooral probeert te concentreren op de Ronde van Vlaanderen, waarin hij de troef is voor de onthoofde ploeg.
Maar Kroon is zichtbaar aangedaan over de handelwijze rondom Contador. „Luister, een maand na zijn positieve controle in de Tour van 2010 werd Alberto persoonlijk gebeld door UCI-voorzitter Pat McQuaid. Die vertelde hem dat ze dat stil wilden houden. Maar ja, toen het via de Duitse televisie gelekt werd binnen de UCI, kwam het dus wel naar buiten. Dat tot daaraan toe, maar vervolgens wordt Alberto in Spanje vrijgesproken. En wat doet de UCI, die in eerste instantie het hele voorval stil wilde houden, die gaat nota bene in hoger beroep. En hij wordt alsnog geschorst. En nu willen ze ook Saxo Bank nog de licentie afnemen, en dat terwijl Alberto in 2010 nog voor Astana reed. Bjarne heeft Contador ook gecontracteerd toen hij nog niet positief was. En het ergste komt nog: toen Bjarne dat contract tekende met Contador, wist McQuaid al dat hij positief was. Dat klopt natuurlijk van geen kant allemaal.”
Kroon mist controles
De Drent heeft inmiddels ook zijn eigen sores met de overkoepelende wielerorganisatie. In zijn ’file’ staat momenteel vermeld dat hij twee dopingcontroles miste. „En ook dit is te belachelijk voor woorden. Voorheen kreeg ik ieder kwartaal van de Vlaamse gemeenschap een mailtje dat ik mijn whereabouts moest invullen. Dat deed ik ook, maar op 2 januari kwam ik erachter dat die niet waren ingevuld. Dat kwam omdat ze zijn gestopt met die waarschuwing te versturen, zomaar uit het niets. En ik ben het dus vergeten, waardoor er nu een zogenaamde ‘filing failure’ bij de UCI vermeld staat. Dat is gelijk aan een gemiste controle. En het wordt nog erger. Nadat ik had gebeld, werd mij doodleuk gemeld dat veel atleten uit andere sporten ook waren vergeten het formulier in te vullen. Maar er werd mij verteld dat ik als enige een gemiste controle achter mijn naam kreeg, omdat ik wielrenner ben???”

quote:Vroomen fears cycling is losing momentum in doping fight
Gerard Vroomen has lamented the news that Dr. Michael Ashenden has resigned from his position an independent member of the UCI's panel of experts that reviews the blood passport data.
Both Vroomen and Ashenden have raised similar questions regarding the UCI’s biological passport in the past, with both gentlemen querying gaps in passport testing last year.
While Ashenden was just one member of an 8-strong panel, he was by far the most vocal in term of talking to the media. His departure - based over a confidentiality order - coupled with the fact that the UCI has failed to launch a single passport case in two-years has led Vroomen to suggest cycling has lost momentum in the fight against doping.
"It would be absolutely amazing if the passport was perfect the first time around, but the whole sport has taken a step back since 2009," Vroomen told Cyclingnews.
The former Cervelo TestTeam boss was referring to a period in 2008 to 2010 when a number of breakthroughs were made. Riders were caught at the 2008 with CERA EPO pumping through their blood and the first biological passport cases were launched. For the first time doping and cheats appeared to be on the back foot.
"2009 was a perfect year. Everybody was scared because of the CERA test and everything that happened in 2008 and 2009 was fantastic. Not everybody in the sport may have decided to push through at that time maybe some people were too scared about the negative publicity and that’s a shame because it was a golden opportunity to really, really push through.
Ashenden’s move has left Vroomen wondering where the sport is heading.
"It’s sad. If you want to have a believable anti-doping programme then you need to be able to accept criticism and be able to improve it. Not pretend it’s perfect.
"Over time you have a worse system because you’re not capable of accepting criticism. Even if the passport was perfect right now it would still need improvement in order to stay perfect in the future. You need criticism in order to keep it in shape. I don’t know how good or not it is. I know there are gaps in testing for certain riders which is not good, but they’re nowhere near like they are in sports like tennis. It’s not like we need to wait a year and half to test someone."
Despite all this Vroomen, who has not been directly involved with a team for almost a year, believes that the sport is still in a better state than 10 years ago, when the biological passport was merely a pipe dream. And while much of the passport’s momentum is down to the UCI, Vroomen does acknowledge that a collection of bodies and organisations shoulder the responsibility.
"I still think we’re much better off in the sport than we were ten years ago but maybe it could have been a little bit better if some people hadn’t taken their eye off the ball. To be honest, it’s probably a combination of all sorts. It’s easy to say UCI, UCI, UCI but I don’t think that at all. It’s a combination of races, teams, federations to solve these problems.. It’s not something the UCI can solve as the others sit back and relax."

quote:Ibarguren Taus said to face hearing in July in relation to Mantova affair
by Shane Stokes at 3:59 PM EST
Spaniard currently works with Omega Pharma Quick Step team
Previously named as one of 32 suspects in the case, Spanish doctor José Ibarguren Taus will face a hearing in connection to the Mantova doping inquiry in three months time.
Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport reported today that the Basque, who lives in Alicante, has been summoned to appear on July 13th on suspicion that he doped riders with products purchased from the Italian pharmacist Guido Nigrelli.
It states that the court mandate gives details of the charges facing the two, stating that they violated ‘art. 110 of the penal code (involvement in a criminal act) and 9 law 376/2000 (anti-doping penal law), for having between them procured, administered or in any case favored the use of substances (among those classified in art. 2 of law 376) not justified by any pathological condition, toward the ends of altering the performances of athletes on the Fuji-Servetto professional cycling team, or otherwise to modify the anti-doping controls by the use of such pharmaceuticals and, among these, substances containing testosterone: in Mariana Mantovan and elsewhere, up to the end of 30 April 2009.’
Others previously linked to the investigation by the Italian media include many who either raced with the Lampre ISD team in the past or who are currently part of the squad, including Alessandro Ballan, Mauro Santambrogio, Marco Bandiera, Emanuele Bindi, Marzio Bruseghin, Damiano Cunego, Mauro Da Dalto, Francesco Gavazzi, Mirko Lorenzetto, Manuele Mori, Simone Ponzi, Francesco Tomei and Daniele Pietropolli.
Also implicated were Lampre’s general manager Giuseppe Saronni plus directeurs sportifs Fabrizio Bontempi and Maurizio Piovani, and the soigneur Fabio Della Torre.
Non-Lampre riders include Francesco Bonazzi, Geo Bonazzi, Paolo Bossoni, Nicola Castrini, Pietro Caucchioli, Sergio Gelati, Roberto Messina, Massimiliano Mori, Paolo Pezzi, Mariano Piccoli and Michael Rasmussen, as well as the mountain bike rider Sebastian Gilmozzi and the footballer Matteo Zambroni.
In a long career, Ibarguren Taus has worked with a range of top cycling teams. He was with Lotto in 1999 when the former Festina soigneur Willy Voet inferred he had been involved in doping riders the previous year; Ibarguren said the Belgian was a liar. He then moved to Banesto for the 2000 and 2001 seasons, then spent the next three years with Lampre.
During July 2002 a Lampre-branded camper van was stopped by the police and suitcases allegedly belonging to the Spaniard were found to contain corticoids and syringes. He moved to Euskaltel in 2005 then, after being released, transferred to Saunier Duval for the 2007 to 2009 period.
The team came under fire in the second of those three years when Riccardo Ricco tested positive for CERA during the Tour de France. The team was expelled from the race and Leonardo Piepoli was later also found to have used banned products.
Saunier Duval walked away and the team competed in 2009 under the title of Fuji Servetto. La Gazzetta printed a transcript of what it states was a phone tap from that same year today. That appears to show the Spaniard asking the Italian to provide him with unspecified substances unbeknownst to Mauro Gianetti, the team’s under-pressure manager.
Ibarguren: "Now I'm going to send you a fax. But send the stuff to my home!"
Nigrelli: "All right, after you give me the address."
Ibarguren: "With a copy of the invoice for the transportation and afterwards give the receipt to the usual one, that guy!"
Nigrelli: "To the usual one! Jose, write to me what you want..."
Ibarguren: "I want a little something! Not much, because Gianetti doesn't want it...what you sent me for the Vuelta I kept at home."
La Gazzetta poses the question as to why a doctor in Alicante would want to contact a pharmacist from Mariana Matovana, 1600 kilometres away.
Since then, the Spaniard has worked with the Omega Pharma Lotto team in 2010 and 2011 and, after that squad split, with the Omega Pharma Quick Step squad this year.
In that time riders such as Philippe Gilbert and Tom Boonen have competed in the team’s colours. The current investigation refers to an earlier time and doesn’t make the claim that Ibarguren has broken rules after leaving the Spanish team.
However with the Mantova investigation ramping up, the dominant Omega Pharma Quick Step is likely to come under increasing pressure to suspend its ties with him.
