Italian rider Filippo Pozzato arrives at the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) to appear before the anti-doping prosecutor on June 19, 2012 in Rome. CONI said in a statement the day before that Pozzato had been summonsed to explain "news which has appeared in the press concerning him" after La Repubblica daily on June 16 claimed that the former Milan-San Remo winner had links with Dr Michele Ferrari, who this week had doping charges brought against him by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) at the same time as seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong and four other people.
