LAUSANNE. The Tokyo Olympics go away for Alex Schwazer. The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) and World Athletics have expressed their negative opinion on the suspension of the suspension of the South Tyrolean walker.
This is what the AGI agency learns today from legal sources in Lausanne also confirmed by the pool of lawyers of the Italian walker who in mid-April had submitted to the Federal Court of Lausanne an application for the suspension of the 8-year disqualification against him for recidivism of doping.
It will be up to the Swiss Federal Court of Lausanne the last word, that is to evaluate whether to grant the suspension of the 8-year disqualification that Alex Schwazer is serving or decide not to enter into the merits and therefore to all intents and purposes leave everything unchanged and ‘condemn’ definitively – except for possible recourse to the European Court of Human Rights, but the times are very long – the blue walker who will not be able to participate both in the qualifying races and, obviously, in the Tokyo Olympics which will start on 23 July next.
