This was hinted at in the movie "Pantani: The Accidental Death of a Cyclist" Now it appears confirmed that the mafia had him booted. To this day I can remember where I was when I saw the news http://cycling-today.com/mafia-did-fix-1999-giro-ditalia-so-marco-pantani-would-lose/

Meh...far from convinced. Original claim was dubious, this doesn't really do much to add credibility. No proof, no evidence,must another claim.
And the reality is that we all know he was doped to the gills....
Just say "NO!" to WCP!!!!

It was the style at the time.
Marco reputation might have fared better if he had a memorable epitaph like "Put me back on the bike!"
