Team Lampre-ISD informs that it received by cyclist Leonardo Bertagnolli a communication about the notification of the opening of potential antidoping rule violation in relationship to the biological passport.
In the full spirit of fairness and of the clean sport, Lampre-ISD acknowledges the information, pointing out with surprise that, as explained by Bertagnolli after he had analyzed the documentation, the potential violations dated back to the period 2008 and 2009, when he was not in blue-fucshia team.
Doctor Carlo Guardascione, responsible of Lampre-ISD’s sanitary staff, also confirms that no anomalies were detected in all the blood exams performed within the internal monitoring program that the Team has performed in cooperation with Mapei Sport Center in 2011 and 2012 (when Bertagnolli was a member of Lampre-ISD) and in the biological passport exams that were performed in the same period.
