Juve Fact of this week:

Juve doctor wins appeal against doping verdict

ROME, Dec 14 (Reuters) - Juventus team doctor Riccardo Agricola was cleared of sporting fraud by Turin's court of appeal on Wednesday.

The decision overturned the guilty verdict handed down by another Turin court last November when Agricola was given a 22-month suspended prison sentence for administering the banned blood-booster EPO to the club's players between 1994 and 1998.


Juventus's managing director Antonio Giraudo was also cleared of sporting fraud on Wednesday.

Giraudo was cleared at the original trial. But Turin public prosecutor Raffaele Guarinello, who conducted a four-year investigation into medical practices at the 28-times Italian champions, had asked for his evidence to be reconsidered by the court of appeal.



I guess the Appeals Court demands real, competent evidence and not the old rumour and inuendo that the Trial Court was content with. "But I swear, your Honor, that Del Piero is bigger now than when he was 16."

So I got called by a newspaper today again, what were the odds since I was already called yesterday? Can you believe they actually interview promising players in lower divisions? The guy asked me questions like "is it hard to combine university with playing football" and "do you aim higher than your current team?". Jeez, must suck if you spend your thursday afternoon calling football players like that.

You play semi-pro ball?
Yeah. But still. I'm only 18 and thus it's pretty logical I almost always start as a reserve. I played 45 minutes last sunday and apparently (the journalist told me) it looks like I'm going to start on sunday. I didn't know they wrote that much about football in my division really.

That's word.

You make any good change?
I hardly get paid compared to other team members. It's the first year I joined the team and I'm a youth product. So obviously they won't pay me well. I expect I get a better contract next year though. Most older players who are in the first eleven earn something around 500 euros a month. Although that depends on our results of course.

You don't know what it is??

Or, do you mean you don't know what that word, "Poon-tang", is. If the former, I take you down to the red lights of Brugge and buy some for you. But, only 'cause I like you so much. :)

Lol

Post the interview so we can read it
Actually I never bought the paper. I read someone else's.

The headline was something like:

"I consider this year to be a learning process."

Of course I said no such shallow thing.
