knowing how certain things (and I'm not necessarily talking about sport...the Italian judiciary chronicles are full of "strange" episodes even worse than this one) usually go here in Italy, probably it's a conspiracy...
nobody in the world of sport wanted him back and now they found the way to get rid of him once and forever...
of course, I can't prove my idea...but I won't change it unless he spontaneously admits he cheated again...
however, this is the situation as it stands (and there are proves of all of these facts):
he was tested on January, 1st 2016...and that test was negative...
then, they re-tested the same sample on May, 13th (after all the shouting and chaos following his winning comeback, when it was clear that he was going to Rio with very good chances to win the 50km and maybe also bouble it up in the 20km)...and this time, surprise surprise, it looks that he had testosterone values 11 times above the limit
in the meantime, in the 5 months between January 1st and May 13th he was tested 15 times (averaging once every 10 days) and all of those 15 tests were absolutely negative, with all the values in line with a clean biological passport (no peaks, no lows, no strange variations between short period of time)...
now, everybody can like or dislike him and can think wehatever they want...but I'm never going to trust such a change...to me, it's more than obvious that someone manipulated the original sample and then ordered the re-test just achieve their goal...
otherwise, the other option is that any doping test in the world is not reliable at all, because it's simply impossible not to find a value 11 times...11 times!!! not marginal digits...11 times!!! above the limit in the first exhamination and then, good 5 months and many headlines later, magically come up with this results...no way...
p.s. I'm not gonna make any further comment on this...
I only hope for Alex that this time he didn't do anything wrong...
