Giro d’Italia leader Denis Menchov is on the hot seat in Austria

From the "here we go again file", the latest reports on the cycling doping front have the current Giro d’Italia leader Denis Menchov a bit nervous.

Austrian authorities have recently approach Menchov's team Rabobank about an an alleged blood doping ring operated in Vienna, Austria.

According to Velonews:

"Journalists queried Menchov during his post-stage press conference Wednesday after he defended his maglia rosa on the mountaintop finish to Blockhaus.

“That’s a curious question,” said a visibly nervous Menchov. “This story isn’t new to me. I heard all about it last year. I gave explanations last year. I have nothing to do with it. I don’t want to have to speak about it again and give the same explanations. We’re in the race now. I’d rather speak about the Giro.”

Last year, Menchov was asked about a German television report — later retracted by the station — that claimed to tie him and five other Rabobank riders to a doping ring. Menchov strongly denied the report at the time."

So far Menchov has refused to answer a direct questions as to if he has been contacted by Austrian authorities so now a dark cloud hangs over the head of the current Giro leader.
