Cycling or Italian?
Italian. I think he was supposed to throw a race and the mafia bet money on it but he went ahead and won and upset them. Or something. Can't remember exactly the rumours
It was a crap attempt at a joke.
The number of conspiracy theories around Pantani are insane, and Matt Rendell's book does a very good job of debunking a lot of them.
