        The world of sport was shocked by today&rsquo;s news of the dismissal of charges brought against Alex Schwazer, the Itailan thus cleared of the doping accusations that have plagued him since 2016. The preliminary investigation judge of Bolzano went even further in fact, clearly criticising both WADA and IAAF and accusing them of having acted in a self-referential way and having altered the walker&rsquo;s urine samples. &nbsp; All of this has not escaped the attention of Andrea Iannone who, on the indications of WADA, has been banned for four years by the Lausanne CAS. &ldquo;These situations have gone on for a long time - writes Iannone in his Instagram stories - and so the system should be changed for the good of those athletes&nbsp;who work physically and mentally their whole lives without doping&rdquo;. Iannone: "Mafia in sport is bigger than sport itself&rdquo;  &ldquo;There are definitely athletes who are doping - continues the rider - and others who aren't. The first group should be punished, while it&rsquo;s not fair for the second group to pay just because the mafia in sport is bigger than sport itself. The system really sucks&rdquo;. Harsh words from Iannone, who presumably feels for Alex although he, unlike Andrea, can now put the ordeal behind him. Meanwhile, the future for number 29 remains unclear, the rider considering options in the showbiz world as well as in the racing world. Translated by Heather Watson Iannone: &ldquo;Positive for cocaine and that's OK, but I'm banned for 4 years&rdquo;       

<p>The Italian says his piece about the dismissal of his fellow countryman&rsquo;s case: &ldquo;It&rsquo;s only right that athletes who are doping should pay, but not those who aren&rsquo;t. The system has been like this for a long time and should be changed"</p>

Schwazer case, Iannone: “The system stinks, the mafia is bigger than sport itself”

        Andrea Iannone does not agree. The four-year ban he received after being sentenced by the CAS continues to weigh heavily on his shoulders and the Italian must stay far from the MotoGP tracks, and his training, for a long time to come. And now, to add to his disappointment, the WADA has published a new regulation. The new ruling  Via his social channels, Iannone published a title from the Italian newspaper &ldquo;Libero&rdquo; that reads: &ldquo;Doping, sport and cocaine, a disturbing turn: open season for the white powder?&rdquo; The article specifies that &ldquo;from 1 January, any athlete testing positive for cocaine (but also heroine, ecstasy and cannabis) risks a three-month ban. Or even just one month if they show remorse and choose to take part in a recovery programme&rdquo;. A dramatic turnaround if we consider that the WADA, up until now, was banning athletes who test positive for cocaine for up to 4 years. It should be highlighted that this new ruling will be applied in cases where the substance is used outside of competition, so not as a way to improve performance. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t agree&rdquo;  Andrea Iannone&rsquo;s reaction was immediate: &ldquo;I&rsquo;m increasingly incredulous &ndash; he writes on social media &ndash; positive for cocaine and it&rsquo;s all OK, while innocent athletes are banned for 4 years! Well done...&rdquo;. It was clear that the rider, who tested positive for Drostanolone as a result of food contamination and claims he is innocent despite having been banned for four years, would not take news of this new regulation lightly. Particularly when his future as a MotoGP rider is in the balance, a career that appears seriously compromised as things stand. Translated by Heather Watson MotoGP, Iannone after the sentencing: &ldquo;They&rsquo;ve broken my heart, but I won&rsquo;t give up&rdquo;       

<p>The WADA has launched new sanctions for athletes who test positive for cocaine (away from competition) and Andrea Iannone does not appreciate the news after being banned for 4 years</p>
