It's just a bureaucratic mistake. They gave him the right to take it but still, repubblica writes in in capital letters and in colour. :rolleyes:

So there is no way he will be suspended for this? Dont undestimate the inemptness of Bureacrazy, Mannini was suspended for a long time due to their stupid mistakes.

Cannavaro fails drugs test
Thursday 8 October, 2009
Fabio Cannavaro failed a drugs test after taking emergency medicine, but a paperwork error means he risks suspension.

The Italy captain was stung by a wasp during a training session and was given a cortisone-based treatment, which usually would be considered acceptable.

However, the medical staff failed to provide a piece of the paperwork confirming this course of action and so an inquiry has been opened.

As the request for permission had not been completed, the Juventus defender was tested and found positive for cortisone.

Cannavaro will be interrogated by the CONI (Italian Olympic Committee) over the next few days.

It is most likely a matter of red tape and should be cleared up relatively quickly.


The 2006 World Cup and Ballon d’Or winner is suspended for Saturday’s Republic of Ireland match anyway, but this situation could in theory rule him out of next Wednesday’s encounter with Cyprus too.

Well, I guess the haters have something to talk about again. This is headline news in Sweden's biggest newspaper and people are talking about the cheating Juventus being back. This is so frustrating.

Well if something big eventually happens we'll look bad of course.

But on the other hand if our excuse is going to be "lost papers by the post" then we probably even deserve to take the bash on us. It's such a lame thing to say if they do suspend him.

How can this not look like another scandal? You might be Juventini but c'mon open your eyes already. We went through so much already and now something like this appears?

It might be nothing but it's nothing wrong if they make a big deal out of it.

Cannavaro: clarification by the medical staff

With regards to the news of the launch of an investigation by the Procura Antidoping involving player Fabio Cannavaro, the medical division of Juventus states that it acted within the sanitary prescriptions and the deontological rules, intervening in an urgent manner – last August – following the worsening of the clinical condition following the sting by an insect. On that occasion a medical remedy which was indispensable in order to prevent eventual complications, even lethal ones, was used. The player and the medical staff of Juventus will be at the disposal of the Procura to clarify this issue as soon as possible, as well as eventual documentation.
