I take it Mayo is the Spaniard, any idea who the two Italians are?
From the article:
------------------------------------------------
MILAN, Italy: Three cyclists have tested positive for doping during the Giro
d'Italia, the Gazzetta dello Sport reported Wednesday without citing names.
Two of the riders are Italian and one is Spanish, the Gazzetta said. The
paper reported that none of the cyclists were among the top finishers in
the race, which ended 10 days ago.

Why do they let these unnamed cyclists compete. They should have rules about

Will we have to wait 11 years like we did for the 1996 TdF?

The interesting thing here is that I still don't believe that you get
any significant increase in performance by using Salbutomol.
Originally it was on the list because it could be used to mask other
drugs in the old days of poorly separated drug detections. Since this
stuff is used by so many people legally and unless there is proof
positive that it is truly performance enhancing it ought to be simply
dropped from the lists like caffeine has been.

MILAN, June 14 (Reuters) - Giro d'Italia stage winner Leonardo Piepoli has
said his 'non negative' dope test from the race was caused by the salbutamol
inhaler he uses for asthma.
"I take salbutamol to treat asthma but there is nothing illegal in this," he
told reporters on Thursday. "But sincerely I do not know the number of
inhalations I have done. I take it every time I need it."
Piepoli, who won the 10th stage of the Giro last month, was one of three
riders to record a 'non negative' result, local media reported.
Media said fellow Italian Alessandro Petacchi, who won five stages, tested
for salbutamol but also has a medical certificate to use the substance.
"We are calmly awaiting the analysis," Gianluigi Stanga, head of Petacchi's
Milram team, told ANSA news agency. "I have no reason for thinking
Alessandro has done anything different from the past."
Spain's Iban Mayo tested for extra testosterone but is known to have
naturally occurring high levels, media said.
The International Cycling Union (UCI) said tests from the Giro, which
finished on June 3, were still being checke
