Schumacher among five Beijing athletes sanctioned by IOCSchumacher, riding for Germany, had finished 13th in the time trial. Rebellin had won a silver medal in the road race. The news comes after the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) said it would review a request from the IOC to strip Rebellin of his medal and a day after UCI President Pat McQuaid confirmed that the Italian would have to forfeit his result.
Both riders are disqualified effective immediately and their Olympic Games results have been withdrawn. They are subject to further action from the UCI. Rebellin was ordered to return his medal and diploma via the Italian National Olympic Committee.
