Luca Paolini (born January 17, 1977 in Milan) is an Italian road bicycle racer who rides for UCI Professional Continental team Acqua & Sapone-Caffè Mokambo. Paolini's home was searched in a doping investigation which was called Operazione Athena[1] - however it appears that no evidence was found that led to any conviction of involvement in doping.[2]
