Filippo Magnini has it in for everyone, from Federica Pellegrini to the Anti-Doping Prosecutor’s Office
Ospite on Rai 2 of the episode of “Belve” hosted by Francesca Fagnani that will be aired tomorrow, Filippo Magnini makes heavy accusations against the sports prosecutor’s office that had him disqualified for 4 years for doping, a sentence appealed by the swimmer from Pesaro, who was later acquitted. Magnini then made no shortage of barbs at his ex, Federica Pellegrini. Here are his words.
“I was the victim of a crazy machination. I was the attackable pawn but I recorded everything during the interrogations. They have treaded heavily on my name so as not to touch others; athletes from swimming but also from other disciplines”.
“They targeted me because I did not want to plea bargain. I recorded everything during the interrogations. And not only me. To my friend Santucci they said: if you give us Magnini’s name with you we will close right away. And he always defended me”.
“I went to a hard face and one of the prosecutors told me: beyond the truth this is a personal matter between you and me. I requested the dvd, but coincidentally that sentence is not there. Why didn’t I report it? I have time to do that. But I listened to the advice of my lawyer who told me: in life you have to win, not overdo it”.
“They have stepped on my name a lot so as not to touch others. Who are they? I’d rather not say. Names of important athletes in swimming and also in other disciplines.”
“Federica? It was a very troubled love, to date I would say more no than yes. She did not turn out to be the person I thought she was. A story that did not leave me with good memories”.
