After being rocked by Ivan Basso's links to Operacion Puerto, Team CSC have officially announced their own in house anti-doping program that will see their riders undergo almost 800 out-of-competition and pre-competition anti-doping tests.

The project will begin this week in Denmark and is expected to be the most comprehensive test system in professional cycling, with first tests carried out in December at the team?s first training camp in South Africa. The testing will be supervised by Danish anti-doping expert Rasmus Damsgaard.
