(Procycling.no): The Italian cycling website Tuttobici announced earlier today that it was prepared two positive doping tests during the Italian championships in June.
One of these riders will be from Francesco Reda (Team Idea). Reda was second in the national championship behind winner Vincenzo Nibali (Astana).
Doping test showed traces of the banned substance EPO, which stimulates the production of red blood cells.
This is not the first Once the Italian sitting in the yarn. 32-year old recently returned after serving a 2-year ban for failing to set up a doping control.
Now he can expect a more severe punishment, and the question is whether he is finished as a cyclist at the highest level.
The other rider who tested positive has not been disclosed yet.
