Schwazer fails test again

ITALY’S 2008 Olympic 50km race walk champion Alex Schwazer, who returned from a doping ban to win the world championship title last month, has tested positive again for a banned substance, Italy’s athletics federation said yesterday. “There has been a notice of a violation,” a spokesman said but could not confirm reports that the positive was the result of a re-test of a January sample, taken after Schwazer had qualified for the Rio Olympics. Schwazer, who also won the European 20km title in 2010, served a ban of 3 years 9 months after admitting using the blood-booster EPO in 2012.
