Italy: Three-month ban recommended for Italian fencer
---
The Italian Olympic Committee recommended a three-month ban Tuesday for
Italian fencer Marco Ciari following a positive test for marijuana.
Traces of cannabis were found in Ciari's system following a test on July
14 at the Italian fencing championships in Naples. Ciari has
acknowledged that he used the substance and apologized, although he said
it was only for one night.
CONI referred the case to the Italian fencing federation.
Ciari has been training with Italy's team for the fencing World
Championships, scheduled for Sept. 28-Oct. 7 in St. Petersburg, Russia.
