We study the lowest lying π+π− resonance R, bound by the long range Coulomb potential and destabilized by short range strong interactions mediating the dominant decay into two neutral pions. Parametrizing the corresponding partial decay width by Γ(R→2π0)=2/9α3mπ+2−mπ02(ΔaDmπ+)2 the quantity ΔaD depends within QCD & QED on four basic parameters : ΛQCD,mu+md,α,md−mu. We are interested here only in the limit where the last two parameters vanish ΔaD0=ΔaD(ΛQCD,mu+md,α=0,md−mu=0). While isospin invariance implies ΔaD0=aDI=0−aDI=2 it is shown that beyond the first order expansion in the strong interaction the identities aDI=aI, where aI denote the strong interaction scattering lengths, do not hold.
