Scarponi: “I am Zapatero”

There are more Puerto-related admissions of guilt coming out in Italy, this time from Michele Scarponi:

“Yes, I am Zapatero and Il Presidente,” said Italian Michele Scarponi yesterday during a two-hour hearing with Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) anti-doping prosecutor Ettore Torri. The 27 year-old rider had been linked with Doctor Eufemiano Fuentes, and yesterday confirmed his code name and other secrets. “They are nicknames that they gave to me,” he confirmed, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Apparently Scarponi agreed to sign a statement which may include the names of riders who, as yet, have not been linked to Dr. Fuentes. So although Ivan Basso claims to not know the names of any of the other riders involved, Scarponi apparently might be willing to talk.
