Giorgi's doctor confirms player asked for fake COVID-19 documents
WTA
Camila Giorgi's doctor confirmed that the tennis player specifically requested fake COVID-19 documents to avoid vaccination.
Giorgi is best known for winning the 2021 Canadian Open. The Italian shocked tennis fans with that run to glory at the WTA 1000, producing blistering tennis throughout the tournament in Montreal.
2022 was a pretty quiet year on-court for Giorgi. Although she did not have the worst season, the 31-year-old did any comparable heights to what she achieved at the 2021 Canadian Open and slipped under the radar.
Giorgi suddenly entered the spotlight when her family doctor accused her of getting a fake COVID-19 vaccination certificate. Receiving one of the vaccinations on offer for COVID-19 has not been made mandatory by the ATP and WTA.
However, COVID-19 rules in certain countries require players to be vaccinated to enter the country unless they have a medical exemption. Australia is an example of this, complicating matters for players who did not receive the vaccine before the Australian Open.
It was subsequently revealed that Giorgi's family is also under investigation for receiving fake COVID-19 documents, making it seem like the decision to pretend to take the vaccination might have been a wider family decision.
Giorgi's family doctor has now spoken further about the issue. She confirmed with certainty that no COVID-19 vaccination was given to the family while also claiming they asked for false documentation about being given the vaccine.
Giorgi's family doctor, Daniela Grillone, has now spoken further about the issue. She confirmed with certainty that the family was not vaccinated against COVID-19 and claimed they asked for false documentation about being vaccinated.
“The Giorgi family has been under treatment with me for a long time. Camila Giorgi suffered from the so-called tennis elbow. Shortly before the beginning of summer, she had come asking for the possibility of obtaining false attestations of all the mandatory vaccines, as well as the Covid vaccine."
"I can confirm with absolute certainty that none of the vaccines against the Giorgi family have actually been administered. I have not received any payment in that case."
