Balkans |  The head of the Albanian Athletics Federation banned Rolli for 5 years

The President of the Albanian Athletics Federation Gerg Roli was banned for 5 years and its General Secretary Nikulin Dionisi was banned for 4 years on the grounds that the long jumper İzmir Smaglag was manipulated as a result of the competition.

According to the statement released by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU), it was determined that the IAAF obtained incorrect information regarding the score of Smajlaj, who won the right to participate in the Tokyo Olympics with a jump of 8.16 meters in the sprint. The competition will be held in the capital, Tirana, in May 2021.

It was decided to give a five-year ban to Rowley, the president of the federation, and to impose a four-year ban on Dionyssi, the general secretary, from three names who were provisionally banned in December.

The temporary ban was lifted on Smajlaj, who won the European Indoor Championships in 2017, due to insufficient evidence that the 30-year-old athlete was willfully involved in match-fixing.
