Caruso case dropped by Spanish federation

Giampaolo Caruso, Italian rider of the former Spanish Liberty Seguros team heavily involved in the doping affair which led to the exclusion of the team at the Tour de France, has received a letter from the Spanish cycling federation which authorizes him to return to racing. In the letter, federation officials are reported to tell Caruso that the doping charges against him are dropped for lack of evidence. However, tuttobiciweb reports that the UCI still opposes Caruso to return to competition.
