Gian Piero Gasperini was referred by the anti-doping prosecutor, with a request for 20 days of disqualification, for “insulting an inspector during a surprise check and inveighing against the entire anti-doping system, interrupting an ongoing test on an Atalanta player and forcing the player to go and train “.
The National Anti-Doping Court has set the hearing against the Atalanta coach for May 10, 2021 at 3 pm.
The episode alleged against Gasperini took place on 7 February last: a Nado Italia inspector came to the Atalanta training ground for a surprise anti-doping check on 4 players. The player, whose test was interrupted by the Grugliasco technician, then completed the operation at the end of training thanks to the mediation of the team doctor.
