The Italian Olympic Committee's anti-doping court also hit Visconti with a $13,000 fine. Former Giro d'Italia champion Michele Scarponi received an identical sentence this week for seeing Ferrari. Ferrari was banned for life by the Italian cycling federation in 2002. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency also banned Ferrari for life this year after its inquiry of Lance Armstrong, whom Ferrari advised. Visconti's ban was backdated to Oct. 8 and will expire on Jan. 7, meaning he won't miss any races.

The winner of this year's La Flèche Wallonne, Rodriguez took full advantage of a tough finish on Stage 10 in Assisi to narrowly separate himself from Bartosz Huzarski (Team NetApp) and Giovanni Visconti (Movistar Team), who finished closely behind in second and third, respectively, and race leader Ryder Hesjedal (Garmin - Barracuda), who fought valiantly but relinquished his grasp on the pink leader's jerse ywith a sixth placed finish on the day. “It was an important stage win especially for the bonus,” Rodriguez told Cyclingnews. “Some journalists told me about the finish here and I now realise that it is suited to me.
