Fabio Cannovaro Not Committed Any Doping Offence

Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro has cleared doping drug test said the Italian Olympic Committee. Italian skipper took a medicine containing banned substance cortisone after a wasp sting failed. Case was dropped at the request of Coni anti-doping prosecutor.

Cannavaro said you are stung by bees and find yourself in newspapers and media. He is unhappy about his treatment by media. He added saying this is the second time in my life that he found himself in newspaper without cause that too for a story like this. He hoped this story does not follow him and career as career has always been notable by respect towards sports and ethical principal which support it. On the evening of Parma’s Uefa final victory over Marseille, Cannavora was videoed inserting a drip into his arm. His lawyer confirmed the drip contained Neoton and this drug is used in cardiac surgery to protect heart and was not on the World Anti-Doping Agency list of banned substances. Ettore Torri said the case dropped last week and Cannavaro has not committed any doping offence. Cannavaro requested an exemption after being treated foe sting but did not receive any documentation before he was tested. He was suspended for Italy’s 2-2 draw in Ireland now guaranteed their place in World Cup finals in South Africa and is planning to play home game with Cyprus.
