Radical if Kostner: disqualification may end in under a month

According to dall''ANSA the night just past, the case of Carolina Kostner, disqualified for sixteen months due to a violation of anti-doping rules in force, would come to a crossroads.

Lawyers of the South Tyrolean skater, after a month of negotiations abundant, would ragggiunto an agreement with WADA and CONI to backdate the date of the disqualification. According dell''ANSA, the Sports Arbitration in Lausanne no court could issue in the coming days, there is even talk of Monday & Igrave ;, a verdict of conciliation in the presence of un''ammmissione guilty by dell''atleta. Essentially, Kostner should confirm, or have already & agrave; confirmed, having taken dell''allora boyfriend Alex Schwarzer nell''eludere a surprise doping control, thereby violating the combined Articles 2.3 and 2.9 of the anti-doping rules. All this would be thought out in order to anticipate the end of the disqualification because, according to the 'ANSA, in the presence of a guilty plea, may be backdated to the terms of effect with simultaneous increase of the sentence. Put simply, this is the strategy that this magazine has always advocated in this regard & egrave; just listen to the various podcast sull''argomento. At the same time, & egrave; a clear demonstration that, faced with a case of doping in slang "indirect", the bodies of CONI are never biased against dell''atleta parties and that, if they could, they would gladly outstretched hand, did gi & agrave; It occurred at a time when the Second Chamber of the National Anti-Doping Tribunal has decided to squalifcare the 'athlete for sixteen months instead & egrave; twenty four. In the light of the latest novelties & agrave ;, he deserves praise the 'lawyer Mario Gallavotti, who took over the case in late spring opting for a different defensive strategy, as long as cos & Igrave; It can be defined. Ci & ograve; stated and going beyond, & egrave; interesting to see what could be the exact terms of the settlement, nell''attesa the TAS publishes device about it. The 'last race held by Carolina Kostner & egrave; It ended in late March, but as the reference date take 1 April to generate less confusion. To date, starting from then, I would be spent eighteen months and a few days. If as reported by numerous press organs in the morning today, the suspension would end on November 1, the 'increase of punishment would be quantified in three months (from 16 months to 19 months). If, instead, you made reference to the opening date of the file to the prosecutor Antidoping of CONI, would change the terms of the story. In this case, as the reference date Prey September 1, despite the controversy both match a few days later. If the disqualification would end in effect on November 1, is not the case any increase in punishment, but bens & Igrave; a reduction of two months compared to the provisions of the Second Chamber of the National Anti-Doping (he would rise from about twelve to sixteen months) If, however, it is held equally into account the date & egrave; issued the sentence (16 January), there would be no increase in pain, but bens & Igrave; a decrease in the disqualification of six months and fifteen days. However, it ends, if the disqualification of Kostner would end on November 1, would open up new scenarios and only then you would understand if you really are the requirements, in terms of motivation, desire to get back into question, wills & agrave; to undergo the privations of life of 'athlete, to think of a return to competition. Is not serious; except that the answers to many questions can be given by Carolina Kostner at the same press conference scheduled on the morning of Tuesday & Igrave; 6 November at a popular hotel in Milan.
