Aprilia MotoGP rider Andrea Iannone was suspended for four years on Tuesday at the request of WADA for a doping offense. The ex-son’s career seems to be over.
Andrea Iannone (31) was shown to be taking an anabolic steroid during a doping test at the Sepang GP in Malaysia in November 2019. Iannone wanted to prove his innocence in an appeal process using a hair sample and a tracing process . According to his statements, he is said to have ingested the banned substances while eating a steak in Asia.
However, the judges on the highest CAS sports court were not impressed. Much more than that: at the request of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), his sentence has now been increased from 18 months to four years. The 2016 Spielberg MotoGP winner’s career appears to be over. Because it remains outlawed for three more years.
Iannone spoke on Tuesday night. “Today I experienced the greatest injustice you can imagine,” Iannone said. “You broke my heart and took me away from my greatest passion.”
Then the announcement: “This judgment, along with incorrect facts, makes no logical sense. There will be an appropriate time and place for this, because I will not give up. I had strong forces against me, but I waited until the end. I expected honesty and justice. “
“Right now I am suffering in a way that I could never have imagined. Whoever has tried to destroy my life will soon realize how much strength I have in my heart. It is the power of innocence and there is a clear conscience above all else. A verdict can destroy an event, but not a man! “
