He has been pulled from the Olympics.

Really, though, why would anyone go on the juice to race-walk?

He looked overly relaxed during the race. Explains that.

The Italian Olympic Committee has said bonuses for athletes who win medals at the London Olympics will remain what they were four years ago in Beijing. Gold medalists will get an additional $186,000, silver will bring $100,000 and a bronze medal will mean a $66,000 bonus. Paralympic athletes will get $100,000 for gold, $53,000 for silver and $33,000 for bronze.

Italy is the next Greece, right after Spain! why are they giving athletes a bonus for winning a medal, they already pay for all their training and travel.
