Jonathan Bachini has been banned for life by the Italian Disciplinary Commission for failing a second drugs test.
The player tested positive for cocaine for the second time after Siena's match with Lazio back in December.
Bachini had his contract cancelled by Siena as a result of the offence.
The 31-year-old had originally been banned for a year after failing a routine drugs test in a game against Lazio on September 22, 2004.
Bachini's lawyer Paolo Rodella admitted they will take their time before deciding whether or not to appeal the ban.
"We will wait to see the full report before commenting on this sentence," said Rodella.
"This is just the first step and we will make an appeal to the CAF.
"As you can imagine, Bachini is in no mood to talk right now."
