From ProCycling magazine:
Fresh from acquittal of Operation Puerto-linked doping offences, Ivan Basso takes umbrange of Gazzetta dello Sport journo Luca Gialanella's interview technique.
Gialanella: What's the truth about your dog: is it called Brillo or Tarello ?
Basso: The investigators searched high and low, and you still come and ask me what my dog's called after I've been aquitted.... its ridiculous, we're entering the realms of the absurd. And I think its shows a lack of respect.
btw/ The dog's called Brillo - Procycling has notes from a 2004 interview with Basso when our interviewer met the dog and asked Basso its name.
