The 40th Premio Sport, founded by the Toscana town of Camaiore, has been awarded to Ivan Basso. Giampaolo Bertola, town's mayor, announced the winner on Sunday, December 3.

The Spanish doctor was at the centre of the Operación Puerto investigation, which, along with Basso, has involved other top cyclists.
