Fertonani stopped for two years

By Gregor Brown

Francesco Plotino of the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) issued the confirmation of the two-year ban of Marco Fertonani given by the Italian cycling federation (FCI) in December. The 31 year-old Italian from Genova tested positive for testosterone during the 2007 Tour Méditerranéen, and was suspended by his team, Caisse d'Epargne, when the results were made public in July.
