Andrea Iannone will be competing in the World Superbike Championship next year and can officially race again after serving a four-year suspension imposed in 2019 due to a controversial doping case. Throughout this period, the Italian never stopped training on track riding road bikes, aiming to make a comeback, which will finally happen in the upcoming season.
The suspension officially ended last Sunday, and on that day, Iannone wrote on social media: ‘After four long and difficult years, from today I am free again. Good luck to me!’.
In WSBK, Iannone will ride a Ducati for Team Go Eleven, which he already tested in November at Jerez, making a positive impression. Since the positive doping test, the rider has consistently claimed to have been a victim of contaminated meat consumption, though this did not prevent the heavy sanction of a four-year ban from competition.
