Ibrahimovic wins defamation case over doping

    Manchester United striker ZlatanIbrahimovic 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 coach of Sweden’s national athletics team from 2001 to 2004, was fined £2,171 pounds for comments he made during a panel discussion at a sports conference .
A district court in Varmland, in west-central Sweden, today convicted Karlsson of defaming the player with the comments made during the panel discussion.

  However, he was acquitted over the interview with the newspaper as Swedish law offers more protection to remarks made to journalists. It would be recalled Ibrahimovic played for Juventus from 2004 to 2006 after leaving Ajax.
