It's interesting though that he'd single out that particular piece of information to refute rather than the wholesale doping/tax evasion/money laudering. It makes me think that he quite possibly didn't go to that camp. It could just be a mistake - he's someone who looks like a lot of other people.Twitter: @RichN950

One is bound by the relevant libel laws, the other banned from cycling for life for doping. I know who I'd think was being truthful in this matter.
I'm not backing Ferrari. There are often two sides of a story though.
The Gazzetta just shows time and again it is a bastion of false rumour.
I wouldnt be surprised if this allegation was proved either way.Contador is the Greatest0 -

Those Ferraris aren't as fast.
The article in Gazzetta clearly states that it is the anti-doping investigators who have pictures of Ferrari rather than journalists. It will be interesting to see who is wrong/fibbing/dishonest.
Having seen our friend Michele refute any doping charges on interview, I'm inclined to believe the other side until we know better.0 -

Astana Doctor @DeMaesneerJ: "I didn't see Ferrari in the team hotel." via @MarcGhyselinckContador is the Greatest0 -
Given that Ferrari is banned, he's hardly going to confirm he was there, is he?
I'm all for knowing the truth, at the moment we don't have anything close to it. Lots of people are denying this report that Ferrari was there, but you'd expect them to given a) any cyclist working with him will be sanctioned and b) Astana's WT license is on the line and this won't aid them.
FWIW, Cookson has said today that the Astana license situation will be resolved no later than tomorrow.0 -
The UCI have the evidence so let's see what they say in the next day or so before speculating any more.

Knowing I have 0 cred on the doping issue - I still can't help but think, "really Di Luca? Are you that fucking stupid??"0 -
Everyone someone gets pinged he says the exact same thing, but with a different name.0

Is someone investigating Ferrari again? If so, perhaps he will be sanctioned with a third life time ban to go with his existing two.0

Very familiar towards some, less so towards the Alien. Intrigued at the Contador comment. Has he left the Ferrari stable now?
'...despite the third place of a great Valverde'.
'In my opinion Vincenzo was wrong in repeating the same preparation as last year: his coach, the competent Paolo Slongo, is an excellent copyist, but not (yet) a real artist'.
'Alberto probably partially paid for the efforts of the Giro, but he has been pedaling with much lower cadences and slower than the past, perhaps because of a change in training methods'.0 -
"Great numbers, but perfectly in line with those expressed in the TdF's of the recent past by the best climbers, including Armstrong."
That dude is trollingIt's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.0 -
Could be me speaking here. Ferrari shares my opinion.
His disproportionate body, that already in 2013 I defined as "alien", his ungainly position on the bike, his accelerations at cadences never seen before make Chris a cyclist "different" from the classic stereotypes of the European tradition, such as Nibali, Quintana, Valverde and Contador himself.Contador is the Greatest0 -

Yes it's probably that FF. Yes, must be, definitely. I'll probably put some money on that being the case.0 -
