Rebound in the Ophélie Claude-Boxberger case. His stepfather, Alain Flaccus, who until then had been responsible for the injection of EPO which led to the positive control of the athlete on September 18, 2019 during an internship at Font-Romeu, said Friday that he had never committed such an act.
"I am not at the origin of this positive analysis at EPO," replied in writing Mr. Flaccus, via his lawyer, questioned about his act. "Mr. Flaccus did not inject Ms. Claude-Boxberger," then said over the phone his lawyer Me Jean-Baptiste Euvrard, throwing trouble on this incredible case, seven months after the confession of his client.
"He is trying to save his skin"
The athlete, who claims his innocence, has been provisionally suspended since November 4 and awaits his convocation by the sanctions committee of the French Anti-Doping Agency (AFLD). She faces four years of suspension.
"This is terrifying news," said Laurent Clauzon, the lawyer for Ophélie Claude-Boxberger. On the bottom it will have to give serious explanations. He is trying to save his skin […] it's a huge surprise. "It's weird, I find it hard to realize," added Ophélie Claude-Boxberger.
