Italian Swimmer Tarantino Skips Training Return as Fiamme Gialle Weigh Discipline

Disciplinary decisions now hinge on her report to the Guardia di Finanza.

Overview

  • Expected back at the Verona federal center on September 1–2, Chiara Tarantino did not present herself as media gathered and officials kept quiet.
  • The Guardia di Finanza has requested her written account along with an embassy report before determining any sanction.
  • Based on reporting and internal norms, an official reprimand is seen as more likely than suspension or expulsion from the Fiamme Gialle.
  • Singapore authorities reviewed airport CCTV, issued an admonishment, returned passports, and confirmed no formal legal proceedings.
  • Investigative accounts say footage shows Tarantino placing two small essential‑oil bottles in a teammate’s bag without her knowledge, while both athletes and the federation maintain silence.
