Savoldelli to see Italian Anti-Doping Officials

Paolo Savoldelli has to appear on February 12 in Rome at the Italian Anti-Doping Procura to answer questions about anti-doping rule violations that are under investigation.

He thinks it could be linked to his time on the Discovery team with Armstrong in 2005 and he stayed with the team in 2006 after Armstrong left. There are also rumors of possible links to Dr. Michele Ferrari. There were also comments made by Danilo Di Luca on Italian television. Savoldelli also raced with Team Telekom and Astana, both already implicated in their own doping scandals.

He claims not to be worried, just annoyed that he has to go all the way to Rome.
