Famous Italian cyclist Marco Pantani did not die of an overdose but was killed by being forced to drink diluted cocaine, the Gazzetta dello Sport reports today.

It says the police of Rimini where Pantani died on 14 February 2004, have re-opened the case.

In the hours before he died he had called the police to complain some people were bothering him.

His parents have never accepted the version their son had committed suicide by overdosing.
