Translated from Italian by
Umberto Ferrara interviewed by Gazzetta dello Sport talks about what happened, a year later. "Why did I buy that spray? I have been using it for years because it was prescribed by a specialist as a support drug for a chronic disease. I was perfectly aware of the ban and I have always kept it with the utmost caution, in my personal beauty case. I did not give anything to Naldi, I suggested its use because he had a cut on a finger that did not heal and made his work difficult. I was very clear in communicating to Naldi the nature of the product and the need for it not to come into contact with Jannik for any reason. In fact, I allowed its use only inside my personal bathroom. Naldi did not deny having been informed, but said he did not remember. When I heard about the positivity I felt incredulity and amazement. Hearing about Clostebol the connection with Trofodermin was immediate. In a few hours we reconstructed the steps that led to Jannik's contamination, providing evidence of the purchase of the spray at a pharmacy in Bologna. With hindsight (...) I would certainly no longer rely on the behavior of others. I have suffered from the superficiality, sometimes aggravated by bad faith, with which many people have treated my position in the affair".
