Martelli said, but the Italian lawyer did criticise some of Operacion Puerto's doctor Eufemiano Fuentes' use of the code-name "Birillo" to allegedly refer to Basso in documents and wiretap conversations.
"Birillo is supposedly the name of Basso's dog. But yesterday, I heard his daughter Domitilla call the dog 'Tarello, so I don't think that at two years of age, a child could be wrong about the name of her dog." Perhaps true, but despite Avv. Tarello's spin, Basso is still far from clear of the serious implications fromcharges that may stem from Operacion Puerto. Once the UCI gets the documents, they will be passed to the Italian Cycling Federation, who will decide the future disposition of the case.

Don't know about Italy, but in most places in the US, dogs require licenses to prove they have had their rabies shots. The licenses require renewal from time to time as the vaccine wears off. These records usually also have the name of the dog. Some enterprising, muckraking journalist ought to check the dog tag records for the Basso dog :-)

Birillo , 'Tarello - is it possible Basso has several dogs ?
