Frullani former national track and field, tested positive for a check dymetylpentylamine February 18 on the eve of the Olympic bobsled race to four. The cones once heard the news had excluded from the quartet bobbista replacing it with Samuele Romanini the reserve.
The following reasons for the record we present the entire post written by the same athlete on the popular social network.
"Hello, I'll tell you what happened in Sochi and how the story is progressing. Return to Italy I handed my supplements to the research laboratory of the University of Turin'' to be analyzed. Tests have identified the substance I has to be positive (dimetilpentilamina) in a supplement that I assumed at the end of training - testing dates back to the morning of 18/02, five days before the race, so I was still training. substance in question was not on the label (otherwise I would have never purchased the integrator), and was then illegally present in the tablets. dimetilpentilamina The use of supplements is illegal in and banned everywhere. I will start a civil and criminal case against the company that produced the'' supplement: it is a well-known brand in the industry, regularly present on the Italian market, which tests and certifies processing, purity and quality of its products. The company is already was reported to the authorities responsible for adulteration. In Sochi we were 3 to be positive for this substance, all because of supplements. I can not stress never thank all the friends that I have written and called, only training and effort belong to my way of live sports.
I call too, with a simple question, to those who have accused me of voluntariness: what good would take a stimulant to a week of the race? A nothing. I quote some extracts from leading newspapers of the day following the news. I state that the only official statement is was that of cones that is limited to reporting the news of the positive and my withdrawal from the team. Articles are improvised on ignorance of the facts and matters: everything you will read are lies, allegations, defamation or serious accusations on the part of its reporters.

He acted quietly, but it is been exposed in the fatal moment. " The two novelists continue with a series of news invented.

" COURIER SPORTS (Marco Evangelisti) "They cast out of the Olympic village, leaving him as an orphan in the novels of Dickens. Last night he slept where he could ... " Indeed I slept in the Olympic village and the coastal cones gave me all the necessary assistance to the counter, the presentation of my defense before the IOC and the return to Italy. PRINTING (Paul Brusorio), FREE (Giampiero De Chiara) and TG1 spoke directly purchase of stimulants. "
