History

During the 1990s, Santuccione worked with Conconi the man that is said to have introduced Erythropoietin or EPO to the sport of cycling.cite web|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/results/1999/jun99/jun9a.shtml|title=More Drug revelations|publisher=Cyclingnews.com|accessdate=2008-04-25]

Santuccione was suspended from acting as a physician from 1995-2000 by the Italian Olympic Committee.Santuccione's name appeared in the case against Francesco Conconi; and he was subject to additional investigation in 2001. In 2004, the large scale operation Oil for Drugs began in 29 Italian provinces against a doping network that Santuccione was suspected to have headed. Doping products such as Testosterone anabolic steroids, EPO, Aranesp (Darbepoetin alfa) and blood transfusion equipment (Blood doping) were found and investigations were opened against 138 athletes (15 of whom were professional cyclists).cite web|url=http://www.dailypeloton.com/displayarticle.asp?pk=10163|title=The sport of the Doctors|publisher=Daily Peloton|accessdate=2008-04-24] On December 18, 2007 Santuccione was given a life time ban by the Italian Olympic Committee due to his involvement in the Oil for Drugs case and after having already serving a lengthy ban for a previous doping offense.

Riccardo Riccò who finished second in the 2008 Giro d'Italia and tested positive for a form of third generation EPO during the 2008 Tour de France named Santuccione as his supplier of the drug.
