Canna is clean, says Chiellini
Friday 9 October, 2009
Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini has defended his team-mate Fabio Cannavaro following his positive drugs test.
Cannavaro was found to have taken the banned substance cortisone, an anti-inflammatory, after suffering a wasp sting.
Juventus prepared a report, which was sent to Italy's medical staff but not to CONI, the Italian Olympic Committee.
Asked about the incident, Chiellini told TuttoMercatoWeb: “Sincerely, I was scared for the first two seconds when I read the headline, but then on reading the rest I soon calmed down.
“I haven't heard from him personally, also because yesterday was a very agitated day for him, but I sent him a text and he was calm.
“I remember the situation well and perhaps there has been a bureaucratic problem. The day before the Roma game, a wasp stung Fabio and his arm swelled up.
“Sincerely we were also a little afraid, but then we thought that it finished there and then, but instead this case has arisen. He is a very clean person and we expect him to be with us on Sunday,” Chiellini concluded.
