actually it's an inquiry by the Italian newspaper "la Repubblica", which can be seen also here (there are both the Italian and the English version)...

but the main problem is that all the Italian Institutions are part of this conspiracy and they will do all they can to deny any attempt of defence by Schwazer and humiliate him...
 
you should watch yesterday's Italian broadcast of the 50km Race Walk competition...it was simply disgusting, totally unacceptable...
 
by the way, all the documents taken by the Italian police at the Italian federation headquarter, now are being used by the Italian trial court...and when it all ends up, all the world will have the proof that IAAF had already been knowing the Russian illegal blood values since 3 years (at least), as it appears from data stored in dr. Giuseppe Fischetto's hard drives...
 
p.s. dr. Fischetto is responsible for IAAF's anti-doping commission since many years and he's also the former doctor of the Italian federation when they used to co-operate with dr. Conconi and dr. Ferrari at the University Hospital in Ferrara in the early Ninety's (and later)...

WTF, you prepare 4 years for olympics and then you draw a shitty horse..
Change the rules, two of the best pentathletes are out. This is just shit!

Not only so far, it was our safest gold medal. In the end i dont really care anymore, those doping games have become wortheless for me, no one can take any of the results seriously anymore. Organizers wanted to do something special and destroyed the competition with it. All those athletes worked so hard for multiple years just to end up in a lottery competition, where it clearly isnt about ability anymore but only about luck. At least 3 of the german athletes won gold before and will probably win gold again in 2020, so i think they will get over it.

Dan Martin 

Yes. What I really hate about her is what she said after she was banned for doping. She said something like: 'Using performance enhancing drugs is like driving your car too fast. After you have been booked, everything is fine and you continue to drive'.
 
No sign of regret, no sign of hindsight at all. Seeing her competing makes me just sick.

On press conference just announced:  German flag bearer is Timo Boll - Table Tennis
 
Fantastic choice in my opinion!

Since Sochi, where everyone could see that Bach is a friend of Putin, Bach lost a lot of support in Germany. Now his actions in the whole Russia case made it even worse. So, Seppelt doesn't need to start a war. But if you want to use this metaphor, yes he has a growing army: Harting, Pechstein of the famous athletes. Then Sörgel as former IOC member. And this other former IOC member who gave back his honours. Of course the officials of the DOSB still support Bach. 
 
And to Seppelt's style of interviews: I don't like it at all, because he really seems to need the camera and be in front of it. But this does not change, that he revealed a lot
 

This video is the result of deliberate provocation by TV channel Rossija1 - just to discredit the person Hajo Seppelt. The Russian admin is pissed that he helped to uncover the fraudulent doping system and send this 'reporter' of its state-run propaganda channel Rossija1. There are several articles about Seppelt's point of view about the interview (however, I only find them in German language, e.g. http://www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/diskussion-um-doping-vorwuerfe-ein-lehrstueck-russischer-propaganda-1.3029260 - this is from one of the most reputable German newspapers, Sueddeutsche Zeitung).
 
I wonder why you use this video as an argument. Is this video somehow related to the revelations about the doping system? We should not fall for propaganda.

And this is why a complete ban would have been the only correct possibility! They still live in another world...
 

So instead clean athletes from every other country now suffer.  Even clean athletes from Russia will not be taken seriously in Rio.  No one will trust their accomplishments, and worse they will be blamed for taking medals away from more deserving competitors.  Maybe that is unfair to clean Russians, but they have no one else to blame but their own national Olympic committee.  
 
The irony is that Russians believe they are being treated unfairly due to politics, when in reality if this was a small or less powerful nation, like India or New Zealand, they would have been banned months ago when the whispers first started.  The only reason Russia is getting away with this is because it is Russia, and if they want to stop being accused of cheating then they should stop cheating.  The victim card is getting old.
