Camo counts the cost
Tuesday 19 February, 2008
Juventus winger Mauro Camoranesi has been hit by a hefty fine for a challenge he made 13 years ago.
The Azzurri star was playing for Alvarado against local rivals Aldosivi in August 1994 when he put in a horror tackle on Javier Pizzo.
The foul effectively ended Pizzo’s career as he was left with damage to his ligaments, meniscus and tendons.
After a lengthy legal process, judge Heber Amalfi has ordered Camoranesi to pay Pizzo around £30,000 in compensation for a tackle, which was “imprudent”.
Pizzo’s knee was reduced to around 39 per cent of its previous capacity and he was sidelined for three years. Upon returning to the game, he was only able to make another four appearances.
Camoranesi’s legal team have indicated that they will appeal the judgement.
