phelps 7,670 Posted February 18, 2021 #11 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Justice has been done! (partially, there are things that will never be back in any case)... Alex Schwazer has been finally sentenced NOT GUILTY of doping in 2016, as the urine samples used to frame him were clearly manipulated by the people supposed to preserve the integrity of the sport... right now, news are only in Italian...but I think soon they'll hit the headlines also outside our Country... https://www.repubblica.it/sport/vari/2021/02/18/news/atletica_il_tribunale_di_bolzano_assolve_schwazer_nel_2016_non_ci_fu_doping_-288154560/?ref=RHTP-BH-I286519397-P1-S3-T1 https://www.corriere.it/sport/21_febbraio_18/schwazer-doping-gip-accoglie-richiesta-archiviazione-caso-chiuso-non-ci-sara-procedimento-penale-7850db80-71e5-11eb-893c-20b27ab3b588.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All WADA people, from their boss to the last bathroom cleaner, must be sent in jail for the rest of their life... they are just a criminal organization, worse than the worst mafia gangs around the world...

Thanks, now I know to take all comments regarding Schwazer, both coming from the anti-Schwazer WADA side and the pro-Schwazer Italian side, with a truckload of salt Luckily he's a race walker, so there's basically no chance there'll be anything about this in the media here De_Gambassi 1 .

Monzanator 4,499 Posted February 19, 2021 #15 Share Posted February 19, 2021 WADA is a fucking joke. Because Schwazer isn't some Russian who can be dismissed as a Putin puppet they deserve all the heat they get. For once they can't blame this on Russian trolls or anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
