Italian Olympic Committee President
Giovanni Malagò said Thursday that Alex Schwazer has little
chance of being able to take part in the Rio Olympics after
failing a doping test.
The race walker has disputed the results of the test.
"I'm always optimistic, but the (sporting) case law and
history suggest things will go in a different direction," Malagò
said.
The CONI chief also called on the IAAF to accelerate its
procedures for the B test of Schwazer's sample.
"It would be good if it were possible to accelerate (and
have the results) before July 5," Malagò said. "That way we
could have some elements to clarify things".
