First one was with Parma. And if I recall, some videotape joking about doping or whatever it was.
Yes he was a Parma player then, but the video only came up before the game with Milan, it was used to taint us some more and co-related to our EPO trial then.

People dont know and dont care for more, they only see the headlines that Juve players are caught doped, they see the rest as excuses:sergio:

I really have to question why they used cortisone to treat a Wasp Sting. That wasn't too bright. Like I mentioned earlier, I have to use an EpiPen if I ever get stung.

That just doesn't make any sense. the only times I had to be administered a cortisone shot were for my shoulder and back when I played baseball and American Football. I can tell you this. The last thing I wanted to do after getting that shot was bench press 400 pounds

As you are in the same shoes as Canna, in regards to wasps, can you letme know if you carry an epipen around? If so, are you suprised that Canna didn't?

Yes, I do carry an Epipen around Bianconero. I am highly allergic to the point where it could be fatal, and if you believe what the doctors say, that they were dealing with a situation to "prevent further complications, including lethal ones", then YES the doctors should have that available for him in these instances.


Let me be clear. I don't blame Cannavaro for this. The doctors should have never given him Cortisone for a wasp sting. I have never, ever heard of that before. Cortisone is a pain killer, it is not a treatment to ward off the effects of a wasp sting.

It's not a pain killer, it's an anti-inflammatory medication. And it is used very often for strong sweelling caused by a sting. Chiellini said that when it happened Canna's whole arm swelled up very quickly and strongly. Does make a lot of sense to use cortisone.

When I was administered Cortisone, it was not for any inflammatory issues. It was for direct pain in my shoulders and back, that allowed me to continue playing.

And if his arm sweeled up very quickly, then it is obvious that he is allergic to bee stings, and in that case, and Epipen should have been used.

Why use cortisone when it could end up being subject to speculation??

If Cannavaro is indeed allergic to bee stings, and the medical staff knew this, then it is their responsibility to administer the proper treatment for it, without using anything that could be left to second guessing.

I swear, Juve have some of the worst medical people I have ever seen.
