Who is Damiano Caruso?
Damiano Caruso is an Italian professional road bicycle racer who rides for UCI ProTeam Cannondale. Caruso was also the 2008 under-23 Italian national champion for the road race.
Born in Ragusa, Sicily, Caruso has competed as a professional since the second half of the 2009 season, competing for the LPR Brakes-Farnese Vini, and De Rosa-Stac Plastic teams, before joining Liquigas-Cannondale for the 2011 season. In October 2011, the Italian National Olympic Committee requested for Caruso to be suspended from competition for two years, although backdated from December 2010, in relation to a doping offence in 2007. He was given a backdated one-year ban in February 2012, allowing for him to return to competition without being banned, but all his 2011 results were voided. Caruso held the lead of the young rider classification at the 2012 Giro d'Italia, after Garmin-Barracuda's Peter Stetina lost time on the eighth stage.
