Michele Scarponi (born September 25, 1979 in Jesi) is an Italian professional road bicycle racer, currently riding for UCI ProTeam Lampre-ISD.[1]
In 2006, Scarponi was implicated in the Operación Puerto doping case. Despite this, and Scarponi's Liberty Seguros-Würth cycling team folding, Scarponi was able to secure a contract with Acqua & Sapone.
Despite a promising start to the 2007 season, Scarponi was once again implicated in the Operación Puerto case. On May 8, 2007, Scarponi confessed his role in the case.[2] On May 15, Scarponi was provisionally suspended.[3]
With the rider completing his ban, Diquigiovanni-Androni announced on June 13, 2008 that they had signed Scarponi for the coming two seasons. In 2010 he finished fourth overall in the Giro d'Italia, and in 2011 second overall behind Alberto Contador.
