You may remember an article I wrote on how the Italian authorities and race organisers are leading the way on anti-doping measures<\/a> and testing not only in pro races but also on the amateur scene. News just in confirms that that drive sis continuing, with Gazzeta dello Sport <\/em>annnouncing a few days ago that four amateurs have been handed huge suspensions totalling a combined 75 years.<\/p>\n

Take that, 4 year ban!<\/p>\n

Here is an excerpt from the Gazzetta <\/em>(tidied up a little after Google Chrome translated):<\/p>\n

A resounding blow has been dealt, the heaviest in the history of amateur cycling doping.It is difficult to define the measure by which the National Anti-Doping Tribunal (First Chamber) hit Alfonso Falzarano (ACSI), winner of the Gran Fondo of Rome in 2014, Raffaele Falzarano, Michele Sgambato, and Carmine Galletta. <\/em><\/p>\n

Alfonso Falzarano was banned for 15 years (until January 14, 2030) for trafficking of doping. The others also received heavy bans: 15 years to Raffaele Falzarano (traffic doping), 20 to Michele Sgambato (traffic and administration of doping), 25 years to Carmine Galletta (possession of prohibited substances, trafficking and administration of doping). <\/em><\/p>\n

All received fines and all were sentenced to pay court costs.<\/em><\/p>\n
