Danilo Di Luca

Danilo Di Luca (born 1976) is a former Italian professional road racing cyclist, best known for winning the 2007 Giro d'Italia but also for several positive doping tests, the last of which resulted in a lifetime ban from the sport. He is one of six riders to have won each of the three Ardennes classics, taking the Amstel Gold Race and La Flèche Wallonne in 2005 and Liège-Bastogne-Liège in 2007. He rode for Riso Scotti, Saeco, Liquigas, Team Katusha, Acqua & Sapone and Vini Fantini, among other squads. His career included three doping-related suspensions: three months in 2007 over visits to a banned doctor, a two-year ban after positive tests for CERA at the 2009 Giro d'Italia, and a positive test for EPO just before the 2013 Giro d'Italia.
