Angry Cannavaro cleared of doping
By www.bbc.com. - Monday 12th October 2009

Juventus defender Fabio Cannavaro has criticised the
media after he was cleared of doping by the Italian
Olympic Committee (Coni).
The Italy skipper, 36, took a medicine containing banned
substance cortisone after a wasp sting on 28 August and
failed a dope test two days later. But the case was
dropped at the request of Coni's anti-doping prosecutor.
On the eve of Parma's 3-0 1999 Uefa Cup final victory
over Olympique Marseille, Cannavaro was videoed
inserting a drip into his arm. His lawyer confirmed the
drip contained Neoton, a drug used in cardiac surgery to
protect the heart, and was not on the World Anti-Doping
Agency's list of banned substances. CONI anti-doping
prosecutor Ettore Torri asked for the case to be dropped
last week, saying that Cannavaro had not committed a
doping offence. Torri has a reputation for being
uncompromising in the battle against doping, having
charged sports personalities in the past even when they
argued that their positive tests were the result of
accidents.

The Olympic rings may be symbols of peace and harmony,
but underneath them in Copenhagen over the last few
days, there's been a hoopla of discord. Some members are
still clearly very unhappy at the way
the inclusion of the two
new sports for 2016 has been handled. In the
end, rugby romped home with 81 votes for, 8 against, and
golf avoided the bunkers and the long rough that some
had foreseen, with 63-27 in favour. The numbers don't
tell the whole story, however. Before the voting, highly
critical interventions from senior International Olympic
Committee figures showed president
Jacques Rogge will have
plenty to do during his new four-year term of office.
Richard Pound, a former
vice-president, bemoaned the process for
selecting the sports, claiming the executive board had
misunderstood the mandate from the membership, in
presenting them with a done deal, not a real choice.
