Lazio President Claudio Lotito released a statement assuring the disciplinary action taken by the FIGC is merely ‘a different interpretation of the COVID-19’ rules.
The club, President and medical staff Ivo Pulcini and Fabio Rodia have been deferred to the disciplinary commission for breaking the COVID protocols.
They did not inform the local health authorities of positive tests and did not impose a quarantine on the close contacts of those who were positive.
“This is a matter relative to the different interpretations of the COVID-19 rules, both in terms of the duty to communicate to the local health authority and the interpretation of how to apply certain parameters of the medical protocol,” read a statement by Lotito’s spokesman, Roberto Rao.
“We await the confirmation of a hearing date in front of the federal tribunal. We trust in sporting justice, which will establish the correct reconstruction of the events and recognise the club is totally extraneous to any responsibility.”
