Alex Schwazer among the competitors of the new edition of Big Brother Vip , the reality show hosted by Alfonso Signorini on Canale 5.

The name of the Italian walker comes after that of the journalist and television commentator Giampiero Mughini . Gold medalist at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Schwazer is back from another experience on TV: last year's Beijing Express, where he was eliminated in the second episode.

The names of the two competitors seem to reflect the decisions of Pier Silvio Berlusconi who - after the death of his father - took over the reins of Mediaset deciding to make a clean cut from "trash". To confirm the will of the entrepreneur, among the faces that will accompany Signorini in the new season of the program there will be that of Cesara Buonamici, face of Tg5.

Alex Schwazer was a spearhead in his discipline until 2012, when he tested positive in a doping control. Stopped for 3 years, he continued training in view of the Rio Olympics (2016). Disqualified a second time for the same reason, in 2021 the Court of Bolzano ordered the closure of the criminal case. However, the disqualification has not been suspended: the ban will be valid until 2024.
