Now, we are in the civil area. Since doping is a criminal offense in Italy, the Italian police is investigating Alex. AS says he did not dope (now, he admitted it in 2012... and spoke about a lot of things and peoples). The Italian judge requested the ‘proof’, that is: the positive urine. Wada and iaff know that without the proof the civil law cannot convict AS. Even more, I feel that denying the DNA text is to deny a basic human right in justice: to be sure that it is the incriminated people’urine. If wada & iaff are sure that the urine is positive, and that it is the one and only of AS, what is their problem in giving it? The police will find Alex’DNA profile and they won, the case and in credibility… <br />In the e.mails they say that according to all the experts, it is impossible to say if it was an involuntary or voluntary assumption of the substance. For the sport laws, it is not necessary. The burden of the proof is with the athletes and AS did not explain how the prohibited substance entered his body (CAS sentence). But it is important in the criminal case. So, they write that will be very difficult to convict AS in the criminal case, and because of that the DNA text it is not even necessary… Are they really trying to help the Italian police to convict him, or what? <br />And why 3 autonomous entities (Iaff, wada and laboratory) are ‘complotting together’ and not autonomous anymore? Why wada is not preoccupied that all the correct procedures have been duly followed by the iaff personal (there is a lot of complaining in tha CAS award…) and that the urine is the correct one? Should be his job: to oversee… And why the laboratory obey iaff orders and not judge’s orders? ...If it is complying now, in what else they summon together? <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07822127655734613026noreply@blogger.com
