In the News: Cyclists to give witness statements in Spanish probe

From the article:
--------------------------------------------------------------
MADRID (Reuters) - The judge leading the Operacion Puerto anti-doping
investigation in Spain will begin calling up implicated cyclists to
give witness statements in December.

"The call-ups will go out this month but the process of collecting the
statements could take a long time to complete," a spokesperson for the
investigating judge said on Friday.

Spanish media reported cyclists such as Italy's Ivan Basso and former
Tour de France winner Jan Ullrich could be asked to give evidence.

They also said national cycling federations had been given the
all-clear to continue their investigations for possible sporting
sanctions against the cyclists.

The only information not available to the cycling bodies was evidence
garnered by the investigating team as part of the criminal case against
the doping ring.

The federations haven't actually been given the all-clear to continue
their investigations.
