Palomino acquitted by the national anti-doping court

José Luis Palomino was acquitted. The National Anti-Doping Tribunal communicated the sentence this morning to the lawyers of the Argentine defender of Atalanta, Luigi Chiappero and Maria Turco, three days after the hearing on Friday (lasting over 3 hours).

In early July Palomino tested positive for Clostebol in a surprise doping test. Later he was suspended as a precautionary measure. The operative part of the sentence excludes the player’s “liability” “in relation to the charges ascribed” and “there is no responsibility pursuant to” Article 4.1 of the anti-doping code “, that is the one in which the burden of proving whether it has been committed a violation of the law.
