| Roman Kreuziger from his time with Liquigas. |
About four weeks ago Team
Saxo Bank - Tinkoff Bank finally made the signing of Roman Kreuziger official
and last Friday Kreuziger got married in Italy. Kreuziger missed out in the
Giro d’Italia this year due to a couple of off days in the mountains and after
being benched for the Vuelta by Astana (knowing he wouldn’t stay with the team)
he has already been looking forward to joining Alberto Contador next year for quite
some time.
When signing Kreuziger,
Bjarne Riis said that: “Roman is a rider
that I actually wanted to have on the team some years back. So that we have now
been able to seal deal is something I'm extremely happy about”.
According to the recent
USADA dossier though, Bjarne Riis should be happy he didn’t sign Kreuziger in
the past. In his witness statement, Leonardo Bertagnolli claims that most of
the Liquigas team (that he was a part of in 2007) was using the doping doctor Michele
Ferrari. Bertagnolli names Roman Kreuziger by name in his statement plus Enrico
Gasparatto who also attended Roman Kreuziger’s wedding last week.
Along with Leonardo
Bertagnolli former Discovery Channel rider, Volodymyr Bileka also claims to have
seen Roman Kreuziger - among other riders - in his past dealings with Michele
Ferrari around 2006-2007.
In 2008 Team Liquigas put
in, as the first team ever to do so, a clause in the riders contract stating that
they were no longer allowed to use trainers or doctors outside of the team. If
so they would be suspended immediately. “There has only been
one exception since 2008 and this was granted to Ivan Basso, who is followed by
Aldo Sassi and by the Mapei Center”, the team write in a press release sent out
last night.
It’s important to
state that up until Leonardo Bertagnolli’s and Velodymyr Bileka’s statements to
the Italian law enforcement, Roman Kreuziger has never been linked to any
doping abuse.
Roman Kreuziger has
yet to make an official comment on the statements from Bertagnolli and Bileka.
It’s really a shame his honey moon should start like this.
On a side note, Alberto Contador earlier said that he recommended Bjarne Riis to sign the Czech star rider.
