Stefano Garzelli Biography

Stefano Garzelli is one of the most popular and richest Sport Cyclist who was born on July 16, 1973 in Varese, Lombardy, Italy. Stefano Garzelli (born 16 July 1973) is an Italian former professional road racer, who was a professional cyclist between 1997 until 2013. The most memorable moment for his racing career his win during the 2000 Giro d’Italia, after a tight three-way battle together with Gilberto Simoni as well as Francesco Casagrande.

Garzelli was able mount his comeback to the 2003 Giro d’Italia and was able to take on the eventual winning Gilberto Simoni in the race.

In reality, Garzelli was caught in the doping scandal of 2002 at the Giro d’Italia, and was exiled from the race. Some believe the reasons for his suspension led Mapei director Giorgio Squinzi to terminate his sponsorship of Mapei at the end in the season. “The exclusion of Garzelli, who tested positive for a masking agent, wasn’t a normal thing. At the start nothing was found. Later, as soon as he won a stage, a forbidden substance came out all of a sudden. That’s bizarre,” said Squinzi in an interview. Belgian champ Freddy Maertens cast doubt on the possibility that Garzelli is guilty for turning to dope, comparing his experience to that of the 1974 World Championships during which Martaens was deliberately undermined by the official of his rival Eddy Merckx.
