“Jannik is much loved and is therefore defended in every aspect, regardless of, and I find this right. But I think his story was treated differently by 99% of cases. Not everyone knows how it works for an athlete subject to Surprise anti -doping checks and in competition throughout the year. This thing should be explained to explain the Sinner case “. This is Federica Pellegrini’s thought, interviewed on” Repubblica “, regarding the Clostebol case and the three -month disqualification negotiated by the number one of world tennis.
“It is not that if my physiotherapist drinks a beer and invests someone is my fault, but it becomes my responsibility if the physio uses a cream on me and then I am positive. It applies to everyone, it is not the Sinner case to be strange – underlines the former swimming champion – because the Sinner case must be different? This is my question. And different was: the solution came only after Wada’s appeals. There was no immediate suspension. I don’t say it should be there. But in fact it was treated as a different case from 99% of the other athletes who have faced and paid negligence for doping. There is also a case in swimming, where for example some have used a different inhaler for asthma and then they were positive. Or due to creams perhaps bought abroad. When you go to the pharmacy to ask for an FSpecific Armaco takes him to the Federation doctor who controls it, he taby it and sees if there are active ingredients or contaminations: only if it is ok then can you use it. It’s not a simple life, but I think it’s the only way to fight doping “.
