JOEY Mawson has broken his silence in the wake of a Swiss trial that cleared him of rape allegations.
Having also served his three-year anti-doping ban, Mawson is now free to resume his racing career – and that’s exactly what he plans on doing.
“For the past three years, I have remained largely silent while navigating one of the most difficult periods of my life,” Mawson wrote in a statement.
“During that time, I faced false allegations and the challenge of defending my name under intense public scrutiny. From the very beginning, I maintained my innocence and trusted that the truth would prevail.
“I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to my legal team, Luc Vaney and Veronica Abu Zeid, for their tireless work, professionalism and belief in justice. I am grateful that the Swiss justice system reached its verdict and that I was acquitted of all charges.
“I also want to thank everyone who stood by me, my family, friends, partners, fans, and supporters around the world. Your faith and encouragement gave me strength during the darkest moments, and I will never forget it.
