Milan: Davide Rebellin has been ordered to return the silver medal he won in road cycling at the Beijing Olympics following his positive test for CERA, Italy's Olympic Committee (CONI) said in a statement.
CONI said the International Olympic Committee had written to request he be stripped of the medal while also asking the International Cycling Union to change the result of the race.
Further possible action against the 38-year-old Rebellin, whose sample from the Games tested positive, would be discussed soon, CONI added.
