Moletta, 82 pastiglie di viagra nell'auto del padreAndrea Moletta, numero 96 al Giro, non � partito ieri, espulso dalla sua squadra, la Gerolsteiner. Nell�ambito di un�inchiesta della Procura di?Padova su un traffico di sostanze dopanti nelle palestre della zona, la Guardia di Finanza ha perquisito una Mercedes, trovando un frigorifero con prodotti sospetti. A bordo dell�auto c�erano Natalino?Moletta, pap� del corridore, e il direttore sportivo dilettanti Fulvio?Miotti. Tra l�altro sarebbero state trovate delle siringhe, nascoste dentro tubetti di dentifricio, con sostanze da esaminare, e 82 pastiglie di Viagra. Il Viagra ha effetto vasodilatatore. Secondo gli inquirenti i prodotti del frigorifero erano diretti al Giro d�Italia.
La notizia alla Gerolsteiner � arrivata nella tarda serata di marted�. E la per Moletta sospensione � scattata subito.

CESENA, Italy (AP)�The Gerolsteiner team suspended Andrea Moletta and pulled the Italian rider out of the Giro d�Italia because of alleged doping.
Moletta, who was in 77th place halfway through the three-week Giro, did not start Wednesday�s stage.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reported Thursday that Italian police searched a car driven by Moletta�s father in which they allegedly found a refrigerator with suspected doping products as well as syringes hidden inside tubes of toothpaste.
Police said the car was headed to the Giro and the search was part of a wider investigation into doping in gyms in the city of Padua in northeastern Italy.
Gerolsteiner general manager Hans-Michael Holczer made the decision to suspend the 29-year-old Moletta, Gazzetta said.
The Giro d�Italia continued Thursday with a 107-mile flat leg from Forli to Carpi.
