Volandri is out due to a doping suspension. A LL will take his place.

Oh Pipo

The Tribunal accepted that Mr Volandri had not taken salbutamol with intent to enhance his sporting performance; rather, he had taken salbutamol to treat his asthma. However, it found that his ATUE only permitted him to use asthma medication in line with generally accepted asthma treatment guidelines, and that the amount of salbutamol he inhaled was not consistent with such use, and so could not be said to be proper therapeutic use in accordance with his ATUE. The Tribunal therefore found that a Doping Offence had been committed. I really have doubts about this. If an extra puff here and there caused this, it would be really unfair.
