The prosecution in the Juventus doping trial has asked for two of the club’s staff to be handed prison sentences.
Chief executive Antonio Giraudo and medical officer Riccardo Agricola are currently on trial, accused of allegedly handing banned substances to players between 1994 and 1998.
The pair deny the allegations but public prosecutor Raffaele Guariniello has today called for stiff punishments.
Guariniello would like Giraudo to serve 25 months, while Agricola could face a three year and two month sentence.
Guariniello opened his investigation in the summer of 1998 after then Roma boss Zdenek Zeman claimed that Italian football had a drug problem.
The trial began four years later, in January 2002, with a number of players – past and present – being questioned as witnesses.
The players insist they were never given illegal substances by the Serie A giants. The trial continues.
