Best Answer

Pellizotti was banned after he was discovered to have "irregular blood values" following a dope test just before the 2009 Tour de France. His suspension was later lifted due to insufficient evidence and he approached the Court of Arbitration seeking the right to return to professional cycling and financial remuneration from the UCI racing union - however, the court found in favour of the UCI's appeal, decided the ban was reasonable and rebanned him for another two years. This is expected to end in May 2012, so should be back in time for the Grand Tours next year.
