Milan are still better. (9 Viewers)

its true, but this cind of bench costs,
a lot, its not a solution to every team,
maybe this is the price we had to pay by not able to pay maresca s salary just for a sub on neddy,
if maresca was there to sub neddy the 8point lead wouldnt be gone so easy,
anyway we did well so far without bench help,
having the same points, means our first eleven did a harder-better job so far, than milans did

Milan pair in drugs row Tuesday 22 March, 2005

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The doping debate is back in the spotlight after Gennaro Gattuso and Giuseppe Pancaro refused to give a blood sample following Milan’s win against Roma.

The Rossoneri duo were randomly selected for the routine drug test following Sunday’s match, but only opted to give the compulsory urine sample.

Yet the Italian internationals declined to also give a blood sample which is left up to the players discretion.

Milan team doctor Massimiliano Sala was quick to defend their decision. "If a player does not give a blood sample it will mean his urine drug test will be even more stringent," he said.

The Italian Football Federation (FIGC), who last year agreed that players were well within their rights to decline leaving blood, will look to quickly clear up the confusion.

It is not clear at this stage why the players refused but Italy Coach Marcello Lippi is hoping the incident will not affect his squad before Saturday’s game.

Especially as Gattuso, a former Rangers man, is expected to play a key role in the Azzurri’s World Cup qualifier against Scotland at the weekend.

Italian football has been swamped with doping stories over the last decade after players such as Jaap Stam and Edgar Davids tested positive for nandrolone.

Juventus doctor Ricardo Agricola was also recently found guilty of administering illegal substances to players even if the club were cleared of any wrongdoing.
