PARIS (AP) -Giro d'Italia winner Ivan Basso, looking to race again
after the Italian Olympic Committee recommended that doping
allegations against him be dropped, says he has been courted by Lance
Armstrong's former team, Discovery Channel.

"They made me a concrete proposal but I am open to other solutions,''
the Italian rider said in an interview published Monday by French
sports newspaper L'Equipe.
