The UCI have confirmed that they have passed their investigation into Dr. Mario Zorzoli to the Cycling Independent Reform Commission (CIRC) for review.
The doctor was suspended from his position as the Scientific Advisor and UCI doctor after allegations arose from the anti-doping investigation into Dr. Geert Leinders, who was handed a lifetime ban by a group of recognised anti-doping organisations for his role in systematic doping at the Rabobank team.
After confirming the suspension, the UCI stated that they would conduct their own investigation, run by their own internal legal team. However they did not specify how long Zorzoli would be suspended.

“We have investigated the allegations made against Mario Zorzoli in the Geert Leinders case, [and] gathered the relevant information we have and shared it with the CIRC,” a UCI spokesperson told Cyclingnews on Friday.
However the sport’s governing body would not confirm if their own internal investigation had reached any conclusion, other than to pass material to CIRC. The independent reform would have already been allowed access to all off the Leinders case information.
The Leinders case document contains statements from Michael Rasmussen, who testified that Zorzoli met with Leinders and said that “Rabobank was a team that had ‘butter on its head',” meaning no trouble would stick to the team.
