Bruno Leali (born 6 March 1958 in Roe Volciano) is an Italian former professional racing cyclist.[1] He rode in 14 editions of the Giro d'Italia, six editions of the Tour de France and four editions of the Vuelta a España.
After retiring from cycling, Leali became the sports director for various teams, including an amateur cycling team he founded. In 2010 Leali was found to possess illicit drugs during the Girobio. The team, Lucchini-Unidelta, was therefore removed from the race.[2] In 2011, the Italian Olympic Committee banned Leali from sport for life in May 2011 and sentenced him to a 20,000 euro fine. In September 2015, he was also included on the World Anti-Doping Agency's list of sporting staff who have been banned for life.[3]
