Francesco Reda (born 19 November 1982) is an Italian professional road bicycle racer,[1] who is currently suspended from the sport, after testing positive for erythropoietin (EPO).
In 2013, Cosenza-born Reda rode for UCI Professional Continental Team Androni Giocattoli–Venezuela, when he was banned after evading a doping test.[2] His ban was reduced after he gave evidence to the Cycling Independent Reform Commission.[3] On 15 July 2015, it was announced that Reda had tested positive for erythropoietin (EPO) after the Italian National Road Race Championships, which he finished second.[4] In February 2016, Reda was banned for eight years.[5]
