The disqualification ofAndrea Iannone for doping expires in December 2023 and until then he will continue his private training and commercial projects. Denying her appearance on other reality shows after appearing on 'Dancing with the Stars', attention seems to be focused on one goal: a return to racing. Whether it's MotoGP or Superbike doesn't matter. In addition to cultivating a series of professional commitments in the catering sector between Spain, Lugano and Vasto.
In recent years, his name is often associated with the world of gossip, with his ex-girlfriends, with participation in television programs, and finally with doping. The 4-year disqualification seemed exaggeratedly exemplary for the former MotoGP rider, who tested positive for Drostanolone after the 2019 Sepang GP, with Massimo rivola who waited until the last day for the Court of Arbitration for Sport's conviction before looking for a replacement. An admirable gesture that few teams would have made. “ Humanly, I showed patience and calm, otherwise I would not have been able to handle a situation that complicated my life », admits 'The Maniac' to 'La Gazzetta dello Sport'. “I reacted by suffering in silence, but with dignity and without poisons ».
Andrea Iannone: “another chance is given to those who are guilty or who have committed a crime. I am not among them"
His disqualification will end on December 17, 2023 : what will Andrea Iannone the day after ? “ I'm coming back to run. I don't know where, how and when, whether in MotoGP or Superbike, but I guarantee you : I still can't fill my life with anything other than motorbikes or speed ". He begins to build a comeback behind the handlebars, to interact with friends and acquaintances, but he would not be satisfied with the role of test pilot. But after four years without competition, does he still feel in good shape? “ Some people still believe in me and that's beautiful. I don't think I should get another chance, but take mine back : another chance is given to those who are guilty or who have committed a crime. I am not among them ».
Iannone remained on excellent terms with his former manager Charles Pernat et Paolo Campinoti, a family member, but races are for winning, not for true friendships. In a few days he celebrates his 33 years old, he sees his Aprilia triumph in Argentina, he congratulates the leaders of Noale and Aleix Espargarò. Without disqualification, he could be there, perhaps fighting for the MotoGP title… “ I don't want to think about it ". And he is preparing for a comeback in style, hoping that he still has the pace to compete on equal terms with the others: “ I was criticized for things that all drivers do today and I paid the consequences. I don't allow myself to judge others. Instead I was tried then sunk ».
