He then made the following statement on his Instagram account:
"I would like to remind you that the investigation in question is subject to a confidentiality order and that even my lawyer and I have not been able to access the file, and no documents or information have been provided to us."
"I would like to emphasize that some of the reports published on various news channels are for disinformation purposes, that the substances appearing on the published list are only related to antidepressants and painkillers that I regularly use, and most importantly, that I have never used the banned substance published on the list in my life."
"I would like to inform you that I will be objecting to the so-called Forensic Medicine report (if it is correct) through my lawyer, as soon as possible, on these matters that I am confident about."
