Answer

Scarponi's ban in late 2012 lasted three months. The ban was imposed due to his involvement in the "Mantova Affair," a doping scandal that implicated several cyclists. Scarponi was found to have used the banned substance CERA, and was subsequently suspended from competition. The ban was lifted in early 2013, and Scarponi was able to resume his cycling career.
