The Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) has handed a life ban to controversial doctor Carlo Santuccione, preventing him from any future involvement in sport. Santuccione, who was previously banned from the Italian cycling federation from 1995-2000, was accused of supplying doping products to athletes as part of the Oil for Drugs investigation.
CONI released a statement on its website Monday, stating that the full reasons behind the ruling would not be released until a later date. Santuccione has publicly denied any wrongdoing in the Italian media, saying that other riders became jealous when his cyclists started winning races.
