I agree with the OP. Mayo was definitely in the Giro.

when will the labs stop leaking news beffore either testing the b-samples (which it doesnt appear they have done) or formaly charging a rider. ARRRGH!!
they are just feeding the circus, and giving potential dopers more technicalities for acquittal.

The simple revelation of three "non-negatives" during the Giro is disastrous enough- the names of the specific riders are mere trivia.
The question in the article is not whether Mayo doped but rather whether he is the unnamed Spanish rider that had a bad test for a high testosterone level. The article is questioning whether three more riders were busted or just two more (Italian) riders.
It is interesting that the article notable skips the ubiquitous "alleged" or other softening phrase thus showing that the publishers and editors think that they have really trustworthy information. Put that together with the information that the UCI has not released the information (meaning that the B sample is still pending and alluding that the information is not yet official) and it seems that it would have to be a really important person leaking the information. I wish he would do us all a favor and allow the process to work as designed instead of basking in his self-congratulatory knowledge that the information came from him.
After the Landis circus, I would have thought that the UCI and WADA would have demanded that all the testing officials follow every testing procedures to the letter to remove any doubt as to validity of test procedures. Defending that mess was ugly and easily avoidable in the future. Leaking this information shows continuing faults with the anti-doping system.
The only thing as damaging to pro cycling as doping is the inept anti-doping efforts.

From Cyclingnews this morning:
"Eurosport has reported the alleged identity of the three riders: Italians Alessandro Petacchi (Milram) and Leonardo Piepoli (Saunier Duval) and Spaniard Iban Mayo (Saunier Duval).
The two Italians have medical exemptions on file for treating asthma, while Mayo is known to be prone to natural testosterone variations, something he has documented previously with the UCI."
If that's correct, it looks at this stage to be a bit of a non-story.
