Vincenzo Abbagnale, world
champion and stroke of Italy's eight for the Rio Olympics, will
very likely miss the games for a doping ban, his father, Azzurri
rowing legend and federation chair Giuseppe said Wednesday.
"Out of transparency we want to make the announcement...He
missed three doping tests and the rules are clear," Abbagnale
senior said.
"It was naive of him but according to the regulations it
will cost him a one-to-two-year ban".
