Cipollini may have some big bills to pay.
Former world champion Mario Cipollini has been ordered to pay 1.1 million euros in back taxes for the years 1998 and 1999, the Italian news agency Ansa reported on Sunday.
An Italian tax court found that Cipollini owed taxes despite claims that he was a resident of Monaco for the years in question.
Cipollini, whose 42 stage wins at the Giro d’Italia appears to be an almost unassailable record, won the world championship in 2002 and retired in 2005.
Cipollini has recently been rumored to be considering a part-time comeback after being invited to ride for the U.S. domestic Rock Racing team.
