Ansa reports that I talian athlete Daisy Osakue is in serious danger of missing the European championships after injuring her eye when assailants threw an egg at her near Turin earlier this week, Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) President Giovanni Malagò said on Wednesday.
“Today I spoke to (Italian Athletics Federation President) Alfio Giomi, who told me that Daisy Osakue’s participation at the European athletics championships is seriously at risk,” Malagò said.
“She needs a big dose of cortisone and, even though there is the possibility of an exemption (from anti-doping regulations), the quantity (needed) is too high.
“What happened is extremely serious”. Osakue, a 22-year-old discus thrower who is the child of Nigerian migrants, said she thought she was targeted because she was black.
