This is a sensitive time for Davide Rebellin. Yesterday the rider from Veneto had to be judged by the Court of Padua for positivity in Beijing in 2008, but also for the crimes of tax evasion, perpetuated by the declaration of false residence abroad. 

As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the hearing started late and the ruling has been postponed to April 30. The experienced rider of CCC Sprandi could face a sentence of one year in prison, in addition to a fine, even if the defense led by Antonino De Silvestri will leave no stone unturned, especially on the issue of doping. 

According to the newspaper, there were some anomalies with a control in 2008 and, therefore, it is a civil process should reach a decision that goes beyond any reasonable doubt.
