Just use google to translate it. Simple.
Here is the translated text:
The cyclist Riccardo Riccò, already banned for doping until 2024, it was reported, along with Matthew Cappè, 37, (pro in 2003 and 2004, which was then dedicated to Marathon) in a survey of the NAS Carabinieri Livorno drugs acting on doping. In a raid, the military arrested in flagrante a healthcare professional and a merchant surprised while yielded packs of epoetin alfa and testosterone to 2 cyclists. The health care worker, Fabrizio Boccolini, 48, and the merchant, Antonio Catharsis, 50, both of Livorno, are under house arrest. On the spot were seized thirty packs of medicine. In subsequent searches of the homes of the two arrested are spuntante other packaging for a value of EUR 15 thousand. Particularly relevant, explain the military, is the fact that many punches medicines carried the inscription "for the exclusive use of the hospital" and is therefore easy to imagine their illegal origin. For the two arrested the allegations are receiving, which carries a sentence of between 2 and 8 years old, and trade of drugs with doping. Same offenses are suspected, in competition for the two cyclists that the present state of investigations listed only as buyers. The survey is a collaboration between the courts of Lucca and Livorno.
BLITZ THE POND - The arrests were triggered late in the evening of Tuesday, in Livorno, during an exchange of about 30 boxes of medicines that was taking place near a pond on the border between the territory of Livorno and Collesalvetti. The drugs, which must be kept cold during the exchange were in a canvas bag and a shoe box. The police have also seized 1,170 Euros which would be used to pay the packaging and sticking to a sweatshirt that was leaning inside the car occupied by Riccò and Cappè.
"MONEY IS NOT HIS" - A report to the mood of Riccò is his lawyer, Fiorenzo Alessi: "He is aware of the fact that it happened. And it is equally aware that it has nothing to do. Money was not in its availability. So there is the connection between this circumstance - added the lawyer - and the fact that he was present. " According to this reconstruction, then the buyer would Cappè. Alessi then also recalls the law 376/2000 anti-doping offense for anyone to alter competitive performance. Virtually impossible for his client, in fact disqualified until 2024 for autotransfusion wrong in 2011.
