ROME – The situation Coronavirus he occupies the bench everywhere and, inevitably, also in the world of sport. In the home Lazio a battle is unfolding between verdicts on the scales or overturned in buffers. There are three cases under discussion, the ones named Immobile, Leiva and Strakosha. In a nutshell: positive for UEFA, negative for Serie A. And so Inzaghi can count on three players in the league, but not for the Champions League. A knot that also unleashed an investigation by the Federal Prosecutor’s Office.
The risks run by the club
The FIGC has opened an investigation to assess whether or not there have been violations of the sports protocol. The reports of the swabs acquired, testimonies of President Lotito and the health manager Ivo Pulcini were collected. The investigation continues, at the judge’s table the risk to health and the will to alter a game could be sanctioned (with positive players on the field and not placed in isolation as expected). The basis is sports judgment, which acts: “In case of infringement, the sanctions referred to in article 8 will be applied to the responsible company, depending on their severity, ranging fromfine, penalty, descent to last place until exclusion from the championship. The severity of the offense is assessed based on the risk to the health of the players, staff, referees and all professionals exposed to Covid-19 infection, as well as the proven intention to alter the course or outcome of a race or competition “.
Lazio towards legal action?
In a note, the biancoceleste company tried to take stock of the situation, highlighting “Possible criticalities in relation to the results obtained by the European organization and, in a climate of full collaboration and protection of the health of the entire group and the community in general.” In short, Lotito feels calm, without violating the protocol. And then the closing: “It is understood that any decision on the matter will be shared with UEFA also through FIGC”. The investigation will continue, but it cannot be ruled out that Lazio will consider legal action against Uefa and the laboratories.
Braconaro: “The UEFA laboratory is the same for everyone”
Francesco Braconaro, member of the FIGC Medical Commission, spoke with Radio Punto Nuovo about the issue: “And tampons for Uefa makes a Italian laboratory: All the teams in our country that play in the cups must go to this unique laboratory, so Uefa wanted to standardize the results. For the internal championships, with 100 professional teams, it became impossible to use a single laboratory. A single laboratory could not process all of these swabs. There low positivity considered differently in Italy and in Europe? There was also the Hakimi case. If the swab is used, the famous three genes for a positive or negative response are searched for. The laboratory must give a positive or negative answer: a low positivity makes the footballer consider positive. In a situation like this, the Federal Prosecutor’s Office will do its investigation, evaluate the swabs used and compliance with the protocols, and evaluate if there were any errors or if there were any discrepancies in the swabbing process. Lazio punished? If the Federal Prosecutor’s Office finds irregularities, the regulations will be applied, but we cannot start from cases of guilt, in fact. The only European reagent to avoid problems? The best thing would be to have a single laboratory, but in fact it is impossible. A single swab that detects all three genes? We use a reagent that looks for the three genes “.
