In an interview with Tv7, the former blue and partner of Vialli at Juve said: “Doping has always been there. I’m scared too, it’s happening to too many players”

More explicit words could not have used Dino Baggio, 51, about the death of Gianluca Vialli during an interview with the microphones of Tv7.

In my years (the 90s, ed) there was doping. You didn’t take strange stuff, you took normal stuff but then you have to see if over time you can throw them out or they stay inside. Then many spoke of the grass in the fields and the products they used, which caused problems…”.
