ROME: Italian cyclist Gabriele Bosisio pleaded his innocence at a hearing with the Italian Olympic Committee's anti-doping prosecutor yesterday.
The 29-year-old LPR rider was caught by an out-of-competition test in September which detected traces of the banned blood-booster EPO.
"I've never taken EPO and I repeat that I am innocent," he said.
