Pippo Pozzato - not Pelizotti
Thanks. From my very basic Italian (10% fluent on Duolingo) it seems to be a case of top ladz bantz involving someone stealing Marco Bandiera's phone.

Obree never really became a pro cyclist - he signed to Le Groupement but never made it to the first team meeting and was promptly sacked (his account being that he was asked to dope and wouldn't). He outed himself years later anyway so even if he had been in the pro peloton he wouldn't have been out. I had an interesting conversation with him about this actually.
I haven't seen the Pellizotti (presume that's who you mean, Franco?) article but have never heard that and Google doesn't come back with anything.
I'm sure there have been gay pro cyclists, but as far as I can establish there's never been an out one.
