现年20岁的皮拉托是2022年世界游泳锦标赛女子100米蛙泳冠军，今年8月在新加坡举行的世界游泳锦标赛女子50米蛙泳比赛中夺得季军。

Pilato, 20, is a six-time medalist at the World Championships, having won gold in the women's 100-meter breaststroke in 2022 and bronze in the 50-meter breaststroke on Aug 3 in Singapore.

参加完新加坡的比赛后，皮拉托与23岁队友基娅拉·塔兰蒂诺前往印度尼西亚巴厘岛度假，回国途经新加坡樟宜国际机场时，塔兰蒂诺在一家免税店里将几瓶精油塞进皮拉托的包。

这一幕被监控摄像头拍下，两人被拘留，不过随后在意大利使馆协调下获释回国。

According to Italian media reports, the shoplifting incident happened in late August during a stopover in Singapore, while the pair were returning from a holiday in Bali.

Tarantino, 22, reportedly stole some essential oil bottles at a duty-free shop and hid them in Pilato's bag, in an act that was caught by security cameras.

The two athletes were briefly detained by local authorities before being released with the assistance of Italian diplomatic officials.

意大利游泳联合会9日发表声明说，根据意大利检察机关的建议对两人实施处罚，自9日起的90天里禁赛。法新社说，这意味着她们将无法参加今年12月在波兰举办的一项欧洲短池游泳锦标赛。

Taking into account the findings of the investigation and the cooperative attitude of Pilato and Tarantino — who admitted their responsibility — the Prosecutor's Office imposed a 90-day suspension from all federation and social activities, effective immediately.

As a result, both swimmers will miss the 2025 European Short Course Championships in Lublin, Poland, scheduled for December.
