Da Ros is free, investigation ongoing

Gianni Da Ros is free again after a Milan prosecutor accepted the request to withdraw the house arrest order yesterday. The Anti-Narcotics Group (NAS) of Milan arrested the Italian, former first-year professional with Liquigas, March 11 for links to drug trafficking. The investigation is ongoing.

"I could hardly wait. I finally see a little light," said Da Ros in La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Da Ros' links to the case could bring about a criminal sentence of three months to three years. The investigation is pending. (GB)
