The doping debate is back in the spotlight after Gennaro Gattuso and Giuseppe Pancaro refused to give a blood sample following Milan’s win against Roma.

The Rossoneri duo were randomly selected for the routine drug test following Sunday’s match, but only opted to give the compulsory urine sample.

Yet the Italian internationals declined to also give a blood sample which is left up to the players discretion.

Milan team doctor Massimiliano Sala was quick to defend their decision. "If a player does not give a blood sample it will mean his urine drug test will be even more stringent," he said.

The Italian Football Federation (FIGC), who last year agreed that players were well within their rights to decline leaving blood, will look to quickly clear up the confusion.

It is not clear at this stage why the players refused but Italy Coach Marcello Lippi is hoping the incident will not affect his squad before Saturday’s game.

Especially as Gattuso, a former Rangers man, is expected to play a key role in the Azzurri’s World Cup qualifier against Scotland at the weekend.

Italian football has been swamped with doping stories over the last decade after players such as Jaap Stam and Edgar Davids tested positive for nandrolone.

Juventus doctor Ricardo Agricola was also recently found guilty of administering illegal substances to players even if the club were cleared of any wrongdoing.

Milan’s Gennaro Gattuso has angrily defended his decision to not give a blood sample as part of a random drugs test.

Gattuso and teammate Giuseppe Pancaro declined to give an optional blood reading following Milan’s win against Roma on Sunday, but they did leave a compulsory urine sample.

Although there are no formal sanctions for players who refuse to give a sample, Federation chief Franco Carraro had previously threatened that players who declined would be ignored by the national side.

But Gattuso, who is in the squad to face Scotland on Saturday, insists the whole system needs reviewing.

"Either you do things seriously or you don't do them at all," the former Rangers midfielder told the Corriere della Sera newspaper.

"For months no-one has been seen for blood tests and then now they bring up this new thing. At any rate, I don't see where the problem is given that nothing is obligatory," he added.

"We should plan the controls well, making them equal for everyone and then I would be happy to adhere."

Gattuso, who is an executive member of the Italian Footballers' Association, has since added that he will undergo a blood test later today.

"I am going to do the blood analysis tonight and everyone can come and have a look," he said this afternoon.

"I’ll even give 10 litres if they want. I have nothing to hide because my doping is hot chilli peppers and hard work in the week."

The midfielder then revealed more details about the circumstances in which he and Pancaro informed medics that they would only be providing them with a urine sample.

"I went into the anti-doping room at the Olimpico, it was 11.30 at night and I was stressed out from the match," added the 26-year-old.

"There were 10 people there and plenty of confusion and sealed syringes thrown to one side. We aren't animals, not me or my fellow players. We can’t go on without clear regulations."

However, Pino Capua, of the Federation’s Anti-doping office, has himself hit back at Gattuso’s comments.

"I’m mortified," he told Radio Radio. "He knows the procedure and he’s wrong to say that the syringes are just thrown to one side. At least he said they were sealed.

"Gattuso is not being entirely accurate and he was present at all the meetings between ourselves and the players. Our medics work with great professionalism."

When asked whether a test carried out 48 hours later than planned could give different results, Capua said: "It’s hard to say but they could be different."

Ironically, this event takes place not long after Adriano Galliani, Milan’s Vice-president, publicly condemned anyone not taking the blood test.

"Anyone not giving a sample should not be playing football. Not only should they not be called up for the national team but should also change profession," he said in the past.

Despite the controversy, Italy boss Marcello Lippi insists that the warrior is still in his plans.

"I’ve not thought about doing without his services," he said. "My opinion? These tests should be made compulsory but only in the right circumstances."



Sounds like fucking double standards to me ref galliani :applause:

Re: AC Milan Thread - 10 Wins in a row - not including CI

Milan just signed a deal with Warner Bros. This means all products, apart from jerseys obviously, will be licsened by Warner Bros. This is a good deal as Warner is quite a powerful company, and this boosts Milan's income.

Re: AC Milan Thread - 10 Wins in a row - not including CI

ANDRIY SHEVCHENKO!!!! AFTER 45 DAYS WITHOUT FOOTBALL!!!!!

2-0!!!!
2-0!!!!!

What a game by Dida. Stam was king of the box. maldini great game. Infact the whole defence was excellent including Kaladze.

The midfield circulated well - making every inter attack seem weak (apart from FKs). Milan had very good control of the ball and very good counter attacks.
 
Re: AC Milan Thread - MILAN SIGN WITH TIME WARNER (CNN, AOL, WARNER BROS)
