After getting confused between Galgo and Grial, I've started this thread so there is a one-stop place that everyone can check out who has been investigated as a part of which doping investigation/operation. An easy way to find out the history of riders and staff.
I realise that not every rider listed will be/has been found guilty of doping, and I'm not calling every name a doper, but I think all names mentioned in connection with an investigation should be included for completion.
Feel free to add information, names of more obscure investigations, and any corrections.
Mantova Investigation
Sparked by the confession of Emanuele Sella after he tested positive for CERA in 2008. This came into the public domain around April/May 2011 and centred on the sale and use of prohibited substances including EPO, ephedrine, testosterone and cortico-steroids. 35 people were/are under investigation, including a lot of former and current Lampre riders and staff.
