Today, 14 July 2015, Ivan Basso was examined and underwent medical assessment at San Raffaele Hospital in Milan, in relation to a lesion that was detected in his left testicle.

Tomorrow, Basso will undergo surgery in order to clarify the nature of the problem and reach its resolution. The intervention will be performed by Professor Francesco Montorsi, Director of the Urology Surgery Unit at San Raffaele Hospital in Milan, and his team.
 
The experts explained that there is no correlation between the testicular lesion and the sports activity of Ivan Basso.
