(ANSA) - Aosta, June 21 - A marathon-running Italian doctor
has been forced to miss the world athletics championships in
Doha because of staff shortages in the norther Italian hospital
where she works.
"I'm extremely honoured to be able to wear the Azzurro vest
but alas the hospital coverage is ever shorter," said Val
D'Aosta runner Catherine Bertone.
