Michele Scarponi has been summoned to appear before the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) next week to answer questions about his possible involvement in the Operación Puerto doping scandal, but his team, Acqua & Sapone, isn't worried.
Team manager Palmiro Masciarelli said he was aware of Scarponi's connection to the case when he signed him for this season. "A month ago, CONI said there was no problem. And as far as we're concerned there is still no problem," Masciarelli told the AP. "He told me again that he's clean and that he's willing to undergo any sort of DNA test to show it."
