Rai’s CEO: “TV commentators away from Japan, disciplinary proceedings started”

Roberto Sergio has announced that he has started “the disciplinary dispute procedure against Lorenzo Leonarduzzi and the technical collaborator Massimiliano Mazzucchi”

Rai has launched a disciplinary procedure against the journalist Lorenzo Leonarduzzi and the technical collaborator Massimiliano Mazzucchi, guilty of having commented sexistly on the athletes during the final of the women’s trampoline World Cup. This was announced by Roberto Sergio, CEO of Rai, in a press release: “A Public Service journalist cannot justify himself by relegating what was broadcast to a ‘bar joke’. I have given a mandate to the relevant offices to start the procedure disciplinary dispute and I asked the Director of Rai Sport Jacopo Volpi to immediately return the commentator and technical commentator from Japan”. Furthermore, from tomorrow the diving commentary will be edited by Nicola Sangiorgio.
