ROME (AP) Former Olympic race walking gold medalist Alex Schwazer says he is prepared to testify in an arbitration hearing over the 16-month ban given to his ex-girlfriend and former figure skating world champion Carolina Kostner.
Kostner was banned in January by the Italian Olympic Committee for helping Schwazer evade a test and other infractions.
Schwazer says he is ''sorry for her. If I'm called to testify in Lausanne I'll do it without a problem. ... I hope this situation she's in ends soon.''
Both CONI and Kostner have appealed to the Switzerland-based Court of Arbitration for Sport.
