Italian cyclist Mattia Gavazzi could face a lifetime ban after he tested positive for cocaine for the third time in his career, the International Cycling Union (UCI) said on Tuesday. Under UCI regulations, a third anti-doping violation triggers a minimum ban of eight years and a maximum of life. The UCI said that Gavazzi’s sample was collected on July 10, 2015.
