"Ulissi informed the team that he has received from the Swiss
Olympic Association notification of a nine-month suspension
starting from 25 June 2014," Lampre said in a statement.
The ban was issued by the Swiss Olympic Association because
Ulissi, who has won three Giro d'Italia stages, is based in that
country.
