Spezialetti to meet CONI on Thursday

Italian Alessandro Spezialetti (Liquigas) is due to face the Italian Olympic Commission's (CONI) anti-doping committee this Thursday, regarding his involvement in the 'Oil for drugs' case, according to Sports Wereld. The case began in 2004 after it was alleged that fraudulent doctor Carlo Santuccione was supplying athletes with doping products.

Besides the 32 year-old Italian, Eddy Mazzoleni (Astana) and this year's Giro d'Italia winner Danilo Di Luca (Liquigas) have also been implicated and will appear this Friday and Saturday respectively.
