Stefano Pirazzi


Stefano Pirazzi is an Italian professional road bicycle racer, who is currently suspended from the sport due to a positive doping test.

Career

Born in Alatri, Pirazzi has competed as a professional since 2010, joining from the amateur ranks; his twin brother Roberto is also a cyclist, and was also a member of the Palazzago Rad Logistica team with Stefano in 2009.
In May 2017, one day before the start of the 2017 Giro d'Italia, the UCI announced that Pirazzi and team-mate Nicola Ruffoni had tested positive for growth hormone-releasing peptides in out-of-competition controls carried out the previous month. Later that month the UCI confirmed that both riders' B-samples had also tested positive, leading Bardiani–CSF to confirm that they would terminate both riders' contracts. In October, Pirazzi was given a four-year ban backdated to the date of the original announcement – as a result, he is unable to compete again until May 2021.
