Pantani: No foul play, say court

Milan – Italy’s supreme court has ruled definitively that former cycling star Marco Pantani was not murdered, Italian media reported yesterday.

The investigation into the death of Pantani, on February 14, 2004 in a hotel in Rimini, had been reopened in 2014 at the request of his family who suspected foul play.

But a court in Rimini in June 2016 concluded there was no evidence to indicate the 34-year-old was murdered.
