From Reuters/Yahoo! Sports: 'Giro d'Italia winner Danilo Di Luca is closer to finding out if he faces a ban for links to doping after the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) said it had convened a new hearing. CONI, Italy's anti-doping body, said on its Web site (www.coni.it) on Wednesday that the first in a series of audiences would take place on Sept. 3 after attempts to bring the relevant parties together this week failed. The Committee said it had received documents from the court in the town of Pescara regarding a criminal case against the Liquigas rider and that the complexity of the issue required further hearings.'
