Tehran, YJC. Ali Akbari says he has gone victim to wrestling mafia as he is banned for life.
Heavyweight who has returned to action only
in July after a two-year ban says he has gone victim to wrestling mafia in his
second, life-time ban.
Amir
Ali Akbari maintained that his positive doping result must have been due to a
pill given to him by the Bulgarian coach of Azerbaijan’s national team while in
the massage room.
Expressing
uncertainty whether the pill has done the trick he added that he does not
remember taking anything suspicious beside that pill.
"I swear to great God that all I say is
honest and right. I want to say I never did the doping they accused me of and I
am ready to go to whatever court there is for it,” Akbari exclaimed.
Pointing also to Azerbaijan’s offer he said "The
offer was made right after 2010. Right when I was banned they offered me to go
there and they promised they would resolve my ban.”
"During that 4-5 months when I was in
Azerbaijan I thought a lot and I concluded that I was not the one to wrestle
for money. I even received 30 percent of my contract with them and right now as
I speak I am in debt to them,” he said.
