The Italian Olympic Committee says cyclist Davide Rebellin has been stripped of the silver medal won in the road race at last year's Beijing Olympic Games because of a doping violation.

The Italian committee said it received instructions from the International Olympic Committee on Tuesday.

Rebellin was one of five athletes caught this year by new tests using retroactive blood samples taken at the games. All denied doping.
