Schwazer will appear before the public in Bolzano on Wednesday

Alex Schwazer was arrested early on Tuesday afternoon, accompanied by his lawyer Dr. Gerhard Brandstätter spotted by eyewitnesses in the “Sheraton” hotel in Bolzano. It is assumed that the walker from Kalch is still in the four-star hotel in the south of the state capital and will spend the night in a hotel room - shielded from the public. Because Schwazer currently has no peace and quiet in his parents' house in Kalch (Ratschings). It is said to be literally besieged by several photographers and camera teams - in the expectation of being able to elicit a statement from the 2008 Olympic champion. Meanwhile, new details about the doping scandal surrounding the former South Tyrolean athlete of the year came to light on Tuesday. The doping control on July 30th in Oberstdorf, during which Schwazer had to give the inspectors a urine sample, was not a coincidence, but planned, writes “La Gazzetta dello Sport” in its print edition on Tuesday. It came from a special Interpol unit in Lyon. Is a doping avalanche starting? The name Schwazer appeared long ago in files and documents from Interpol and WADA in connection with investigations against the sports doctor Michele Ferrari. In Italy, the public prosecutor's office in Padua is investigating the 59-year-old doctor. Schwazer is said to be one of the athletes who are said to be part of the 59-year-old's “customer circle” - as the renowned sports paper writes. Schwazer's phone is said to have been tapped as part of the investigation against Ferrari. “I did everything by myself. “I ordered the doping drug Epo online and then injected myself with it in Oberstdorf in mid-July,” Schwazer told the ANSA news agency on Monday. The truth of this statement is doubted by many experts and those familiar with the scene. Maybe the 27-year-old walker will shed some light on this matter on Wednesday. And any statements he makes will set off a real avalanche. SportNews will keep its readers up to date with a live ticker directly on site about what is happening at the press conference in the Hotel Sheraton.
