Battaglino’s bitterness
Stefano Battaglino, at the microphones of Corriere della Sera, recounted the incident involving him that led to a heavy disqualification. "Let’s make one thing clear – he specified -: I am happy for Sinner, to whom I wish all the success in the world; but for me I am really disappointed, very much".
"For sports, I am a pest – added the’former number 760 in singles, 650 in doubles -. Clostebol? The drug è the same, as reduced was the amount: to one nothing, to me 4 years".
"Having said that I have never taken anything, not even supplements, I fear that judges live in a beautiful world, made up of Us Open and Wimbledon, but that they do not have the benché slightest idea of the other levels, from number 250 on down" " he then stressed.
"It hurts me to know that someone thinks that I am a “doped” that is, that I have taken substances to cheat: not è soè I have never done that. And instead, people who don’t know me, maybe they just read the headline and shoot judgments. But when I tell the whole story, everyone tells me that è a folly" the bitter conclusion of Battaglino, whose disqualification will expire on January 31, 2027.
