Information trouvée : Marco Pantani (January 13, 1970 - February 14, 2004) was an Italian cyclist widely
regarded as being one of the best climbers of his generation in professional bicycle
road racing. The high point of his career was to win the Tour de France and the Giro
d'Italia in 1998. The bandana he often wore and his attacking style of riding led
to him being dubbed 'Il Pirata' (the pirate) by the adoring Italian "tifosi"--his
fans. However, since 1999 his career was dogged by drug allegations, following his
failing a blood test in the 1999 Giro.
