Italy's Alex Schwazer cries as he attends a press conference in Bolzano, northern Italy, Wednesday, Aug. 8, 2012. The 2008 Olympic race walk champion who was expelled from the Londongames for doping broke down in tears while recounting how he hid the banned substance in the home he shares with star figure skater Carolina Kostner. Weeping, and at one point burying his face in his hands, Schwazer told that he went to Turkey with euro1,500 ($1,850) to buy the EPO at a pharmacy. Schwazer had hoped to replicate his feat in the 50-kilometer event in London but was tossed from the games Monday after testing positive. |
