Based on the documents received from the public prosecutor in Mantova, the Italian anti-doping agency has requested a two-year ban for Alessandro Ballan for his involvement in the Mantova affair.
Following the request from the public prosecutor, the BMC Racing Team has made the following public statement:
“The BMC Racing Team is aware of, and will continue to monitor, CONI's legal proceedings involving Alessandro Ballan. Prior to a decision by the relevant authorities, the team will rely upon internal policies to determine the status of Ballan. At this time, no decision to remove him from active status has been made. As has been previously stated, the charges stem from a time period prior to Ballan's involvement with the BMC Racing Team. Out of respect for the athlete and for due process, the BMC Racing Team will not make specific comments about the case in the absence of new facts or significant announcements by the court. The BMC Racing Team is committed to a strict anti-doping philosophy and clean sport.”
