The Italian Olympic Committee have banned Arix Viadana’s Samuele Pace for one month and 24 days for doping, overturning a previous ruling by the federation that had exonerated Pace.
However, Pace can return to play immediately because he has already served the ban.
Pace tested positive for the steroid betamethasone on May 19, following Viadana’s Super 10 loss to Benetton Treviso by 24-28.
