Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has won a defamation lawsuit in Sweden against a former athletics coach who accused him of doping during his time at Juventus.
Ulf Karlsson, who was the head mentor of Sweden's national games group from 2001 to 2004, was fined 24,000 kronor (£2,171) for remarks he made amid a board exchange at a games gathering in April. Karlsson said he thought
Ibrahimovic, 34, more likely than not doped keeping in mind the end goal to build up so rapidly at Juve.
"Zlatan picked up 10 kilos of muscle in six months at Juventus. That is unthinkable in such a brief span," Karlsson said.
He made comparative remarks in a meeting with neighborhood daily paper Nya Wermlands-Tidning, saying: "I think he was doped. I am persuaded."
A locale court in Varmland, in west-focal Sweden, on Monday sentenced for criticizing the player with the remarks made amid the board discourse.
In any case, he was cleared over the meeting with the daily paper as Swedish law offers more security to comments made to writers.
"I'm happy the area court has concurred with me that he ought not be indicted for what he has said to a writer.
That is an imperative standard," Karlsson's lawyer Johan Eriksson told open telecaster SVT.
Ibrahimovic played for Juventus from 2004 to 2006 after leaving Ajax.
