Rebellin with a cause?

Damn, I should've had a V-8!















ROME (AP) — The Italian Olympic Committee confirmed Wednesday that Olympic cycling silver medalist Davide Rebellin tested positive for doping at the Beijing Games.

CONI said in a statement that it has suspended the athlete, and anti-doping prosecutor Ettore Torri has opened an investigation following the retesting of samples taken at the Olympics. Torri also called Rebellin to a hearing on Monday.

In an interview with an Italian daily, Rebellin rejected the doping accusations, saying the result was "certainly a mistake."

The International Olympic Committee said Tuesday that a total of seven positive tests involving six athletes came back positive for CERA, an advanced version of the blood-boosting drug EPO. The IOC has not named the athletes or the sports involved.


I can't wait to see who gets named next!
