[SIZE=-1]VeloNews, CO [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]After denying his role, Basso eventually succumbed to pressure and admitted that was the “Barillo” mentioned in the Puerto files. He confessed to working with alleged ring-leader Dr. Eufemiano Fuentes, but stopped short of a full confession, insisting that he only “intended to dope.” [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]“What can I say? When you do something bad, you have to pay the price,” Basso continued. “What happened to me wasn’t a question of luck. I did something wrong. I was guilty, but now my conscience is clear because I’ve paid the price.” [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Asked what he learned from his Puerto experience, Basso said honesty is the best policy. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]“If you’re not 100 percent honest, you end up paying,” he said. “Not just in sport, but in everything. The truth is always the best path.” [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]To demonstrate that he’s on the correct road, Basso began working with Italian trainer Aldo Sassi last spring. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Sassi, who works out of the Mapei Training Center and who’s renowned to be a strong voice against doping, agreed to work with Basso following several meetings with the repentant rider. [/SIZE]
