Italian cyclist Antonio Tiberi was suspended by his team and fined for the shooting death of a cat belonging to his neighbor, the minister of tourism and former head of state of San Marino.
, Tiberi called the shooting an accident as well as “a tremendously stupid and irresponsible [action], the seriousness and danger of which I realized only” afterward.He added that he accepts with a “sense of responsibility and repentance the consequences and the blame for my action. If I have not spoken publicly about it before, it was only because of a strong sense of shame and regret. I understand the criticism from fans, the media and people in general.
He apologized to the Pedini Amati family for the “emotional damage” and said he planned to work with organizations dedicated to helping stray cats. “I realize that all of this comes only [in retrospect] but, alas, I can only follow up the repentance with a concrete and useful gesture. I have made a big mistake and I believe that now the only thing I can do is act to redeem [myself].”
