Former Italian swimming champion
Filippo Magnini got a four-year ban for doping Tuesday.
The two-time former world 100m freestyle champ, 36, was
banned by the national anti-doping tribunal of the National
Anti-Doping Organisation (NADO) for taking banned substances.
Prosecutors had asked for an eight-year ban.
Magnini, also a three-time European 100m freestyle champ,
retired a couple of years ago.
He is the best Italian freestyle swimmer of all time along
with Giorgio Lamberti.
