Campiglio ’99, the p.m. writes :. “The Camorra stopped Pantani” – La Gazzetta dello Sport

a “bug” in the home of a Camorra, the police investigation of the judicial public prosecutor of Forlì, led by prosecutor Sergio Sottani. The eavesdropping and finally the evidence, names, revealing, according to the reconstruction of the investigators, what happened on the morning of June 5, 1999 in Hotel Touring in Madonna di Campiglio, the eve of the penultimate stage with Gavia, Mortirolo and arrival at ‘Aprica. The control of the hematocrit level of Marco Pantani in the pink jersey. The exclusion of the Pirate Tour of Italy for high hematocrit, 51.9% against the 50% permitted by the then UCI rules, the World Cycling Federation. The beginning of the sporting and human end of Cesenatico climber.



money and blood – “a Camorra clan threatened a doctor, writes pm Sottani, to force him to alter the test and to be Pantani out of the norm”. Words that in these years we had heard many times, from the famous phrase of the bandit Renato Vallanzasca in prison ( “A member of a Camorra clan advised at an early stage to point me in jail all the money I had on the victory of Pantani rivals. ‘ I do not know how, but the pelatino not arrive in Milan. Trust ‘) to the investigative work of the prosecutor of Forlì, which October 16, 2014 opened the investigation on exclusion of Pantani from Campiglio with the offense “criminal association aimed at fraud and sporting fraud. ” Investigations already carried out in 1999 in Trento by prosecutor Giardina, and archived.


test Queen – Betting against Pantani, billionaire bets (in pounds) that the Camorra could not lose. Hence the plan to alter the blood control. The prosecutor of Forlì has reconstructed all the steps, heard dozens of people, in jail and out. He had proof-queen, with the environmental interception of an affiliate to a clan that five times repeated the word “yes”, when asked if the test had been altered. But prosecutors have gone further, did not stop to this important element. Have reconstructed the chain of command, they found the instigators of the operation.
Perhaps one of the biggest mysteries of world sport has found the truth. A 17-year distance. The prosecutor of Forlì can store only because offenses are prescribed. A different civil and sporting front, on which lawyers for the Pantani family are working to see if there may be openings for some action.
