Fabio Cannavaro, a starting defender for Juventus and captain of Italy, has failed a doping test. Cannavaro claims that the test result was due to a cortisone shot being used to treat a bee sting.
On Friday, Cannavaro, 36, will meet the Italian Olympic Committee's anti-doping prosecutor Ettorre Torri for questioning.
This isn't Cannavaro's first controversy with injections. Before the 1999 UEFA Cup Final, a video tape was released which showed Cannavaro being injected with a substance. The substance was found to be neoton, which is a drug and a creatine phosphate used in cardiac surgery, and is not on the banned substance list. No action was ever taken.
