Basso to be cleared

The Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) will likely not be sanctioning Ivan Basso in relation to the Operacion Puerto affair, reports De Telegraaf. According to the article, CONI has not found enough proof to proceed in the case.

UCI president Pat McQuaid said that if Basso is cleared by CONI, the UCI would take the matter to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. "It's ridiculous that CONI is closing the case, because the investigation of the Guardia Civil is not yet finished," he said.
