Se il Giro riposa Ivano Fanini no. Il presidente della squadra Amore & Vita, infatti, continua la sua battaglia contro il doping e contro un ciclismo che ha perso molta della sua credibilità. Negli ultimi quindici anni sono oltre 500 i ciclisti fermati, squalificati o morti, un numero impressionante che pare non preoccupare nessuno.
Una battaglia che ha preso piede anche su Facebook dove è stato fondato l’Ivano Fanini Fans Club, dove lovers of clean cycling, if it still exists, make you go ahead and thank him for all he has done and is doing.
Just a few days ago the president of Federciclismo, Renato Di Rocco, thundered against Valverde's victory in the Tour de Romandie: "It's still shocking to see him run and win," but few know that the English rider was stopped due to a ' Fanini intuition.
now will be remembered as the man who stopped Valverde
... "The English cyclist, world number one, wins hands down for years by cheating and had to be stopped for doping. But no one did anything, so I had the idea to stop in Italy and is his fraud was discovered. I hope that is disqualified, as soon as possible, even at international level. "
The caravan of the Tour is back in Italy. A finding on this issue?
"This year, unfortunately, the Tour will be dominated by champions (so to speak) who have had problems with doping. This is because the research is to escape controls ahead of the fight against doping. "
Angelo Zomegnan said that this is the edition with more control than ever, that is, before, during and after. There will be 520 controls half of them to surprise and with a medical unit in more ...
'I controlli mirati e a sorpresa, se fatti seriamente, sono soldi ben spesi ma gli altri non servono a niente perché, se programmati, i risultati saranno sempre tutti ok. Non si deve lasciare la possibilità agli organizzatori di stabilire i controlli come vogliono loro, tanto più se alla partenza ci sono metà dei corridori che sono stati coinvolti o hanno in corso casi di doping. Tra questi si salva solo Basso perché adesso sta correndo pulito e quindi va piano. Se tutti i corridori fossero puliti come lui vincerebbe il Giro. Ho molta fiducia anche nel campione del mondo Cadel Evans».
Cosa si può fare oggi contro il doping?
«Devono essere l’UCI e la WADA a imporre per regolamento i propri controlli surprise and at all levels, Pro Tour, including Continental and Professional and 360 °, ie in all categories since the students and the Juniors, where there is even the doping team. The money saved from unnecessary controls may serve to increase those at the youth level, where they are now virtually non-existent. Imagine if these were put in place .... "
What would happen?
"All the runners were also tested only twice a year, targeted and surprise, if not change the doping system, would be mixed and matched with the radiation within two seasons would stop cycling. According to the facts it seems that this is what they want. It is a paradox but the bottom hides a tragic truth that, unfortunately, it seems the only way to restore credibility and protect the health of future cyclists. "
Some progress has been made?
"Yes, thanks to Nas, the Guardia di Finanza and various proxies. But there is still much to do. Do you think that only professionals in the last 15 years, between riders stopped, suspended and dead, we are more than 500. And if things do not change, this number will grow quickly. "
How do you turn a blind eye?
"biological passports are only useful if the UCI uses them without looking at anybody and then be disposed of certificates authorizing registered physicians to use certain medicines, for people who are sick should stay home. The season is long and the races are far too many, there is time to heal, recover and return to racing without proof. "
Why did you decide to go against everyone, attracting hostility and isolation?
"The doping problem has erupted, initially, the non-blitz Nas in the Tour of Italy '96. Since then I have paid so much for my views and complaints, but nothing is as good as my goal. I want to be remembered for having changed and saved the bike with my battle against doping. For me it became a mission of life, my love for the infinite this sport. How have I managed to get out dall'omertà, I hope that the many scandals fail to convince the entire movement to do the same. "
recently met with Minister Roberto Maroni, what emerged from your 'chat'?
"I hope the Minister listen to what I said and that is intensifying the work of Nas and the Guardia di Finanza to increase their control and therefore the investigation of the prosecutors, only in recent years that have materially worked to improve cycling. "
Worried?
"With all the pending cases and will soon involve other high-sounding names, I wonder: where will it end? ".
