This is the minister’s comment regarding the Clostebol case: “Sinner has proven his innocence, the body that deals with anti-doping within the tennis system has certified it, I hope that Wada, beyond the formal aspects that are perhaps almost due, arrives at the same conclusions, because Jannik is a crystalline transparency. He made a choice, even a correct one, to remove the people who had betrayed his trust, we are talking about an infinitesimal presence of a substance that determines nothing. I believe that all of this will be taken into account.”
Regard the controversy after Settebello’s disqualification: “The behavior of our water polo players, on the one hand for the role I play I should be very sober and I remain in my role, I believe that they limited themselves to a correct and civil protest I believe that certain international bodies do not understand the state of soul of athletes who work for four years to achieve an objective, which fails due to an error which was then also recognised. The behavior was not violent, it was firm. And it was also a protest. Protest must always be respected, even more so when it respects the rules of the game”, he concluded.
