I had a feeling you would say that but would you stake your life on Pizzolato being clean for sure?  

You never know with weightlifters, despite me liking to watch it.

Or a bronze medal being gone and Latvia getting a surprise weightlifting bronze

not gonna happen...I'm (relatively) sure Pizzolato isn't to be caught with his Tokyo samples (not going to bet on him overall, as you wrote, with weightlifters you never know).

 

Italy has recorded only 1 single positive test among their medallists in all the Olympic history (the poor Rebellin in 2008)...we have a pretty good organization to avoid any embarassment on the big stage (while the rest of the 4-year span is just another thing, unfortunately).
