Over the past months and throughout this process, three separate hearings have been held each case that confirmed my innocence ,” the sinner wrote in his public record.
“Several months of interviews and investigations culminated in three senior judges examining every detail in a formal hearing. They issued a detailed decision explaining why they determined I was not guilty, with clear evidence provided and my cooperation throughout “After such a solid decision. in the process, both the ITIA and the Italian anti-doping authority accepted this and waived their appeal rights,” added the Italian player.
