UPDATE: Cannavaro has been cleared. Wonderful news!
There are some stories we’ve always assumed we would never write:
“Victoria Beckham laughs giddily, smiles widely during press call.”
“Nemanja Vidic admits he is scared of the dark.”
Italian captain Fabio Cannavaro failing a drugs test falls into this category.
The Juventus defender and one of our long-standing Hot H.O.F. members is currently being investigated by doping officials for failing a drugs test. His club reps say this is much ado about nothing – and due to treatment he received for a… wasp’s bite.
“On this occasion a pharmacological therapy was administered that was indispensable to prevent complications, including lethal ones.”
The Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) said Cannavaro had requested an exemption after being treated for the bite but did not receive it before he was dope tested.
Fabs is currently waiting to hear from CONI to see whether or not he’ll be punished.
Call us in complete denial, but we refuse to believe a man (as our readers have described him) that “possesses such an epic ass” can be guilty of anything illegal.
*Wasps don’t make honey, do they? That sort of throws our whole theory about Fabs and his sweet sugary insides. Nev mind.
Canna is INNOCENT!! CONI should leave him alone, if they have a problem, they need to summon the doctors responsible for administering the drug!
