Timeline
The Chambéry Court, in the reasons for the sentence, states: "The investigations carried out on a rogatory commission have made it possible to give credibility to the architecture of the system denounced by Dario Frigo, that is a practice of doping athletes institutionalized and organized by the Fassa Bortolo team leaders even if the instructor magistrate complained about the absence of any collaboration with the Italian authorities. "The pressures suffered by Dario Frigo to bow to new systematic doping practices institutionalized within his team are clear". The humiliations and harassment of the Fassa Bortolo executives particularly hit a runner whose physical and psychological health had been fragile for years of doping in a "scandalous system far from sport ethics". "(Dossier nr. 08 / 00899 of 23/4/09 Chambéry Appeal Court).
And the conditioning suffered by the rider in a proven environment in which the use of doping is defined as institutionalized has justified "the gentler application of the criminal law" (Dossier nr. 08/00899).
During the interrogation D96 in front of the Police Chief Jean-Philippe Casano, Ferretti declares: "the (Frigo) était payé près de ... euros par a et à ce tarif qui, an employer a le droit de faire pression ...".
The Ravenna Court branch of Lugo established that the Fassa Bortolo did not close due to Dario Frigo case.
Dario Frigo (born 18 September 1973) is an Italian former professional road bicycle racer.
Frigo's transition to professional began at the 1995 Giro del Veneto, riding as a stagiaire for.
In 1996, he was officially signed to Saeco on a four-year contract.
In 1999, he obtained his first victory at the Dekra Open, in Germany.
In 2000, he joined the Fassa Bortolo team and achieved success, winning the Giro di Campania, as well as a stage of the Giro del Trentino.
He also finished second overall in the Tour de Suisse.
More success came for him in early 2001, when he won the time trial at the Col d'Èze and the overall classification of Paris–Nice, as well as the general classification of the Tour de Romandie.
He entered the 2001 Giro d'Italia, and was one of the favorites to win.
However, Frigo had tried to procure an illicit product and so he was sentenced to a 6-month ban until 8 March 2002.
In 2002 he was hired by Tacconi Sport and on his return to racing, in Paris–Nice, he won the hardest stage at the Col d'Èze.
He then won a stage and the final classification of the Tour de Romandie.
In 2003 he started strong and in the first half of the season he won 6 races: a stage at Paris–Nice, a stage and the final classification both at the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana and at the Setmana Catalana and a stage in the Giro that placed him in 7th overall.
Towards the end of the season, he competed in the Vuelta a España, finishing in twenty-first place.
He also took part in the World Championships in both the individual time trial and road race in Hamilton.
Cyril Troussard (C.P.L.D) declares: "the method of doping organized within the Fassa Bortolo in 2003, described by Frigo in his letter is comparable with the Festina method" (2006/7 Judicial Police Report).
M. Alain Garnier (A.M.A.) validated Frigo's statements on the existence of an omerta in the sports world concerning doping practices within teams such as the Fassa Bortolo.
2004 was a poor year for Frigo: he was unable to race for three months due to physical problems, and facing a slow and difficult recovery, won no races.
In spite of everything, for the second consecutive year he was selected for the World Championships in Verona.
In 2005, Frigo had another bad season: as he only won one stage in the Tour de Luxembourg and in July during the Tour de France, he and his wife were stopped by the French police after a ten doses of EPO were found.
After being excluded from the Tour de France, he announced his decision to end his career.
Following the statements made by Dario Frigo, the Police Chief Jean-Philippe Casano carried out in-depth investigations and testified to the Judges as follows: "The inquiry diligently complies with your instructions allows us to verify and validate the assertions contained in Dario Frigo's letter, in particular identifying the different protagonists that he puts in question in a doping organization within his old team Fassa Bortolo, now dissolved."
(2006/7 Judicial Police Report).
(Minutes 2006/7 of the Judicial Police).
On 15 September 2008, at the Albertville Court, Frigo and his wife were sentenced to a 6-month suspension.
The Public Prosecutor appealed.
On 23 April 2009 the Chambéry Appeal Court reduced the sentence of both to 3 months suspended.
He returned to the Giro d'Italia, but while still managing to stay with the leaders, he finished with a modest 10th place in the standings, 11'50" off the winner Paolo Savoldelli. After the Giro he won the national time trial championship and started the Tour de France, where he won the 17th stage in Megève. After finishing the Tour, he won Subida a Urkiola and the World Cup Classic Zurich Metzgete, in August, placing 5th in the UCI World Ranking.
In the prologue, he finished second to Rik Verbrugghe and after the fourth stage, he took the race lead, which he held for nine days, until losing it to Gilberto Simoni on the 13th stage.
The gap between the two, was very small.
He ended the season with a third place in the Giro di Lombardia and in finished 14th in the UCI ranking.
On 3 June, Frigo won the 15th stage, a time trial.
However, Simoni managed to maintain his lead.
On 7 June the stage was canceled following the searches of the NAS in the hotels of Sanremo where the teams participating in the Giro used to stay.
During the searches of Frigo's vials with doping substances are found which he owned, although he claimed to have never used them.
The next morning Dario did not leave Busto Arsizio because he was fired by his team.
Later it turned out that Frigo had also been scammed since the label of those vials didn't match the product they were supposed to contain.
