THE FACTS
The skater South Tyrol, as reported yesterday (August 13) from & rsquo; agency ANSA, violated anti-doping rules since, despite the disqualification of sixteen months fine imposed by the National Court of CONI, would be performed in & rsquo; scope of a demonstration organized by a & rsquo; sports association. Also according to the & rsquo; ANSA, in the event of proven responsibility & agrave ;, l & rsquo; athlete would risk that the disqualification of sixteen months have effect from the date of & rsquo; last appearance on the ice is not allowed.
In the first instance, the blame attributed to Kostner & egrave; He was to have taken part in a series of events related in some way to Ice Entertainment, amateur association affiliated to the Olympic Committee as a body of propaganda. Just Ice & Entertainment has for ograve; taken immediately distances with the events in question: "We are totally unrelated to & rsquo; organization & Outdoors; and administration & Outdoors; staging of events in question."
In fact, the & rsquo; organization of ice shows & egrave; It was the responsibility of local companies and Shuffle SRL, private agency which among other things deals with setting up all kinds of events. Moreover, the tourist association involved, see Corvara-Colfosco, have immediately noted that it is not affiliated to any company & agrave; sports, speech also valid for the Shuffle Srl.
However, as reported by several national media, one of the problems would be represented by the fact that three executives as well as & eacute; artists registered for Ice Entertainment would shareholders or in any way related to Shuffle Srl in Sesto San Giovanni, which would have concluded the contract with Kostner.
THEORY
From the point of view of the theory, the & rsquo; whole situation seems paradoxical and really not credible, but putting it into practice adds to the confusion.
To clear the field of misunderstandings & egrave; It should be noted that even before the judgment of condemnation reigned pi & ugrave; absolute confusion about the real meaning of the term "inhibition" and case reference
Gi & agrave; then, it would have been the case that the CONI diramasse an explanatory annex to clarify this issue.
* The event is sponsored by a company & agrave; affiliated with CONI (then the FISG)? s & Igrave; - No
* Event that takes place in a facility run by a company & agrave; affiliated with CONI? s & Igrave; - No
* Event that does not take place in a facility run by a company & agrave; affiliated with CONI, involving members CONI? s & Igrave; - No
.... And so on.
However, in the absence of an attachment adapted to delimit the boundaries of there & ograve; that it is unlawful and there & ograve; that is allowed, touches all''atleta or his entourage move order that & eacute; avoid creating ambiguous situations.
So, in this case, & egrave; unthinkable that those who care image and interests dell''atleta has not put a question prior to the Olympic Committee to sort out any doubt. Therefore, if Kostner took part all''evento, the 'why did & egrave; absolutely certain to avoid sanctions. In 2015 & egrave; credible professionals in tow dell''atleta have failed to make the question of the case to the CONI.
PRACTICE
Entering the merits of what happened, some steps will certainly deepened.
Michela Morizzo, manager of Tech & egrave; that deals with Carolina Kostner, confirmed to the newspaper & ldquo; & rdquo Trentino; not leaving anything to chance: & ldquo; We are not naive and Carolina can & ograve; skate. We asked the & rsquo; authorization, we discussed also with us with all the necessary checks. I do not understand why & eacute; all of this fury. Carolina called the & rsquo; authorization Blue Flames for these three events, and for that of October (Intimissimi On Ice). They were they to coordinate everything. We have relationships with Ice Entertainment, not & egrave; the rep. The contract & egrave; between Carolina and Shuffle Ltd. & rdquo;
However, according to the & rsquo; today's edition of & ldquo; The BBC & rdquo; Kostner, after having participated in the events of Corvara and Pinzolo, should not take & agrave; part in the show of Asiago as the organizers would be in effect affiliated to CONI.
As for the CONI, nothing & egrave; so far appeared on the official website and not & egrave; possible that the whole thing can also reveal a soap bubble, as would be hoped in a system where it should exist a continuous communication and the certainty of the standard should be a sine qua non.
Ci & ograve; Accordingly, according to several newspapers, the Italian anti-doping prosecutor, not before Monday & Igrave ;, considering that the offices are currently closed, open his & agrave; a dossier on the matter as duty. Next, it should be asked the same Kostner and other figures involved to clarify the situation. If cos & Igrave; it would mean that the Olympic Committee was not consulted properly about what to do, thesis & ograve; denied by the new secretary general of Federghiaccio Ippolito Sanfratello, who, contacted by the newspaper & ldquo; The Trentino & rdquo ;, said: & ldquo; How FISG we ensured that the event was not organized by an affiliate to the federation. Of this we have written confirmation & egrave; arrived. If we informed the CONI? I have spoken in recent days with Fabbricini (national general secretary) & rdquo ;.
CONCLUSION
It & rsquo; difficult to say more in a time when news and denials are followed seamless continuity & agrave ;. The obvious wishes & egrave; that those responsible did not move with superficiality & agrave ;. In this regard, and I can count, go to & ograve; remarked as the & rsquo; ad appeared on August 10 on board facebook profile staff skater can lend to some misunderstanding too: & ldquo; A journey through the beauty of my Italian waiting to see us in Corvara, 12 August at 21.15, Ice Entertainment tour !! Finally home!!! Travelling in Italy before my wonderful Ice Entertainment tour starts !! Corvara, August 12th, 9:15 pm! & Rdquo;
Moreover, the & rsquo; whole story makes interesting questions of law. It remains, in fact, to be seen to what extremes the & rsquo; inhibition imposed & Outdoors; athlete is likely to injure his right to work. However, it ends, as happened to the disqualification of sixteen months arrived in January, the case could make jurisprudence for better or for worse.
