A report from today’s paper edition of the Milano based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport has analysed the League meeting yesterday, which focused on the Covid-19 testing debate.
The report details how the two guidelines from yesterday’s meeting at uniformity of testing and even stricter rules, with the importance of a single laboratory that can provide consistent Covid testing being clear.
Serie A wants to adapt to UEFA’s model, who use Synlab as their reference laboratory, where all clubs must send their tests in order to compete in European competition.
Lazio president Claudio Lotito said yesterday that he was in favour of the choice of a single laboratory, a feeling shared by Inter CEO Beppe Marotta.
President of the Sports Doctors’ Federation Maurizio Casasco is optimistic that a company can be found that can provide this service to the Serie A teams.
Inter experienced the testing inconsistency issue last month when Moroccan wing back Achraf Hakimi was forced to miss the Champions League opener against Borussia Monchengladbach due to a false positive Covid test.
