(ANSA) - Rome, January 26 - Ice skating former world champ
Carolina Kostner did not know former boyfriend and Olympic 50km
walk champ Alex Schwazer was using drugs, Italy's anti-doping
tribunal said in explaining its recent 16-month ban on her. The
ban was inflicted, it said, because she "knowingly lied" to a
World Anti-Doping Agency inspector in Oberstdorf, "with the
attenuating circumstance" that she was in love.
