For Rossi's team
After doping ban! Explosive MotoGP return fixed
Andrea Iannone was banned for four years for a doping offense. This sentence has now been served and the Italian will make his comeback to MotoGP this weekend. However, this return is not uncontroversial.
On November 3, 2019, Iannone was called in for a doping test on the sidelines of the Malaysian Grand Prix. However, the standard test that day was to cause a sensation. An anabolic steroid was detected in the urine sample.
As a result, the Italian was banned for four years. This sentence has now been served and Iannone competed for Ducati in the Superbike World Championship last season. He is now allowed to make his comeback in the MotoGP this weekend.
Closing the circle
The 35-year-old will line up for the team of MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi. He replaces his compatriot Fabio Di Giannantonio, who had to end the season early after shoulder surgery.
Due to his doping past, Iannone's return has not met with universal approval. Yet the stage for a fresh start could not be better. After all, MotoGP is making a guest appearance in Malaysia of all places this weekend.
