Things just aren’t looking good for Ivan Basso hanging on to his 2006 Giro d’Italia title:

Ettore Torri has received evidence from the Bergamo anti-doping investigating attorneys, in association with the German officials, that Ivan Basso was in Germany on the eve of the 2006 Giro d’Italia. The parties are working on a drug trafficking case and, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, there is evidence to support that Basso was together with Jan Ullrich and Eufemiano Fuentes in a Freiburg hotel before the departure of the three week race which the Italian won.

The husband already calls Gilberto Simoni a 3-time Giro winner; I think he’s probably right in doing so.
