Izmir Smajlaj

Izmir Smajlaj is innocent and can return to athletics normally cleared of any previous charges by the Athletics Integrity Unit.

Tch learns that finally the athlete from Shkodran, European and Balkan champion, Albania's record holder has managed to win the legal battle developed in France represented by lawyer Romina Zano with the "Athletic Integrity Unit", which had accused him for manipulation of the result in cooperation, which included the general secretary of FSHA, Nikolin Dionisis and the president of the Albanian Athletics Federation and at the same time his coach Gjergj Ruli.

One could not think that the absurdity of this lesson to our Athletics Federation would reach these levels. However, making it clear that the goal of the internationals was clear. Nikolin Dionisi, former secretary of the Athletics Federation, who pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a 4-year suspension from the activities of this sport, and the current president of FSHA, Gjergj Ruli, "for lack of sincerity and failure to take measures against the administration of federation for this mistake," is punished with 5 years of suspension.

All the investigations, from the interrogation to the statement of the protagonists before the agents of the "Athletic Integrity Unit", including the control of both of the private mobile phones of the president Ruli, did not bring any evidence showing a manipulation of the 8.16 result, which jumped Izmir Smajlaj in the competition held on May 8, 2021. Moreover, the fact that this result was recognized and remained in force shows this.

However, the sentence was taken and a reason was found, as if to justify 2 years of war with the windmills, which, ironically, was for a wind meter that we didn't have, while today, after these sentences, he gave Albania a gift himself World Athletics Federation.

The date of the extraordinary assembly for the election of new management structures of the Albanian Athletics Federation has been determined on May 19.
