April 22, 2010 – The UCI advised Italian rider Mattia Gavazzi on April 21 that he is provisionally suspended. The decision to provisionally suspend Mr Giunti was made in response to a report from the WADA accredited laboratory in Lausanne indicating an Adverse Analytical Finding of cocaine in a urine sample collected from him at an in-competition test during the Settimana Lombarda on 31 March 2010.

The provisional suspension remains in force until a hearing panel convened by the Italian Cycling Federation determines whether Mr Gavazzi has committed an anti-doping rule violation under Article 21 of the UCI Anti-Doping Rules. Mr Gavazzi has the right to request and attend the analyses of his B sample. Under the World Anti-Doping Code and the UCI Anti-Doping Rules, the UCI is unable to provide any additional information at this time.
