Cunego charged with doping

FORMER Tour of Italy winner Damiano Cunego was among 28 people connected to the Lampre team charged with doping-related offences, the Padua prosecutor's office said yesterday.

Former world champion Alessandro Ballan and a host of riders, officials and doctors have been called in to explain themselves. Lampre responded by affirming its "faith in the members of the team caught up in this incident".

Sporting directors Giuseppe Saronni and Guido Bontempi, and team chemist Vittorio Nigrelli, suspected of being the "brains" behind the doping operation, have been summoned. Lampre is accused of giving its riders EPO, anabolic steroids, human growth hormone and testosterone.
