Ban applied for against Obrist and Weissteiner

Hard blow to Italian athletics just a few months before the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. The anti-doping prosecutor's office of NADO Italy has - based on the “Olimpia” investigation requested by the Bolzano public prosecutor's office - against 26 athletes, including the South Tyroleans Middle-distance runners Christian Obrist and Silvia Weissteiner filed a complaint because they did not properly report their whereabouts for doping controls. However, archiving was requested for a further 39 athletes, including Lukas Rifesser and Alex Schwazer.
