By Agence France Presse
This report filed April 30, 2007
As defending Giro d'Italia champion Ivan Basso awaits a hearing on his alleged involvement in Spain's Operación Puerto doping affair, news reports on Monday suggest that another 49 cyclists may be implicated in new documents seized in the year-old investigation.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, a new 6000-page dossier from the Spanish doctor Eufemiano Fuentes implicates a new crop of clients in a scandal that has already ensnared several top riders, including Basso and 1997 Tour de France winner Jan Ullrich. ......

During the weekend I heard a radio interview with a Belgian who was deeply involved with the T.d.F in the 90s and he said that all of the "stars" were on drugs, except Erich Zabel....funny thing is that it will still go on and on and on. Big money.

Italian cycling star Ivan Basso admitted to the anti-doping prosecutor of the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) on Monday that he was involved in the Operación Puerto blood-doping scandal.

CONI said the 29-year-old rider came to their offices of his own accord and offered to cooperate with their investigation and clarify his part in the scandal.

Basso, last year's Giro d'Italia winner and a pre-race favorite for the 2007 Tour de France, is one of dozens of riders implicated in the doping affair, which erupted before last year's Tour de France when Spanish police uncovered an alleged blood-doping network run by doctor Eufemiano Fuentes.

Police discovered bags of blood and doping products on a raid on Fuentes's laboratory in Madrid, along with codenames of cyclists and documents that suggested the doctor had been paid to manipulate and store blood.

Basso's implication in the scandal cost him his place at the Tour.

Last week Basso parted company with the Discovery Channel team after CONI had called him to a hearing to answer doping charges. Until now, he had protested his innocence.

Basso was initially acquitted by CONI of any involvement in the scandal due to what Italy's governing body for sport described as insufficient evidence.

But CONI reopened its investigation after unearthing new evidence.

Last year's Tour de France also ended in controversy when American winner Floyd Landis tested positive for a skewed testosterone-epitestosterone ratio.

Jeezus, for no known reason, Floyd Landis showed up in a dream yesterday. Now I know why.

He looked like sh*t, too, from the stress of being persecuted.

Valverde is implicated in this thing, too. What a mess.

[Mic]

What a mess.

NO, it is called "professional road cycling".

[Ninja]

Sooo he admitted to being involved. But did he admit to taking drugs?:hurt:

Edit: Never mind.
