ROME Giro d'Italia champion Ivan Basso is ready to race again after
the Italian Olympic Committee recommended that doping allegations
against him be dropped.

"Now my goal is to win races again," Basso said in sports daily
Gazzetta dello Sport on Friday, a day after the Olympic body's
anti-doping commission said it would ask the Italian Cycling
Federation to close the case.

"I always continued to train with the aim of returning to racing once
the situation was resolved," said the cyclist, who has been suspended
since July.

Here is the story in Gazzetta dello Sport, in case anybody can speak
Italian ---> Basso: "Nessuna vergogna"

I think the headline translates as 'Basso: "No shame"'

Actually, it translates as "Low: No Shame"

Ivan Basso translates to Ivan Low, which sounds like Ivanhoe.
Coincidence? I don't think so.
