Alex Schwazer is being tortured

A verdict in the Schwazer case is expected from the Federal Court in Lausanne (Switzerland) these days. At the same court, the Schwazer clan had due to the new facts (the Bolzano regional court found that the Doping sample from January 1, 2016 manipulated became) one Application to lift the eight-year ban submitted. However, the walker from Kalch is subjected to torture. There is no verdict yet.

“The verdict should actually have already been made. “But we haven’t received any correspondence yet,” said Schwazer’s lawyer Gerhard Brandstätter on Thursday evening SportNews . The judgment of the emergency measure is not announced publicly, but is sent to the prosecution and defense. “Maybe it’s still on its way in the mail. “I don’t know when we’ll get it,” regrets Brandstätter, because he is also aware that time is of the essence. Olympic dream not yet broken The registration deadline for the competition in Podebrady, Czech Republic, passed at midnight yesterday. This race on May 16th would have been the last scheduled competition to qualify for the Olympics. So has Schwazer's Olympic dream shattered? “No,” said Brandstätter. “FIDAL (Italian Athletics Federation, editor) can theoretically organize a competition at any time in which Alex could meet the Olympic standard.” The deadline for this is May 31st (for the 50-kilometer competition) and May 29th June (for the 20-kilometer competition): The limit must be reached by then.

In any case, Schwazer hasn't given up hope yet. "He says, 'If there's even a one percent chance of being there, I'll train.' He remains very motivated,” explains Brandstätter, who at the same time regrets: “Unfortunately, we are in the hands of bandits. The way WADA and the athletics association have expressed their opposition is tragic.” The two opposing parties have been involved in the last few days their statements caused a stir in the Schwazer clan.

For the walker from Kalch it’s a matter of waiting, hoping – and training. Because the Olympic chance is still intact.
