I can't speak Italian so there might be something inaccurate. But using google translate, it seems Carolina's ex-boyfriend, Alex Schwarzer (Race Walker Olympic Champion in Bejing 2008) has dragged her name into his doping scandal, saying that she lied for him once when investigators visited his house for some sudden doping test.

If they investigated further, I am afraid Carolina might be banned from competitions (but she might retire so it's not such big deal). But what about ice shows? I hope they will continue to invite her again to ice shows despite this scandal, but what if it goes bigger?
I mean, seriously, it does look like Schwarzer is willing to give out many names as possible in order to get himself a reduced sentence. :scowl:

A few days before the highly anticipated " Intimissimi Operapop on Ice ," which will be staged at the picturesque setting of the Arena di Verona , the name of Carolina Kostner is again associated with the former boyfriend Alex Schwarzer , currently under investigation for crimes related doping.
According to the findings from the interviews conducted by the investigative bodies of the Prosecutor of Bolzano , the former marcher , suspended until January 30, 2016 due to the positive findings in July 2012, he confessed to having been helped by Carolina Kostner in avoiding a control anti- doping surprise.
Specifically, in the paper today of "La Gazzetta dello Sport" , it tells of how Kostner has declared to inspectors Wada , who presented at his home in Oberstdorf, that he was then engaged in Racines when in fact it was hidden in the house. The Italian skater , when questioned about it by the investigative bodies , confirmed the version of Schwarzer.
If they investigated further, I am afraid Carolina might be banned from competitions (but she might retire so it's not such big deal). But what about ice shows? I hope they will continue to invite her again to ice shows despite this scandal, but what if it goes bigger?
