Gambling addicted Juve midfielder Nicolo Fagioli banned for seven months
October 18 – Juventus midfielder Nicolo Fagioli has been banned for seven months by the Italian football federation (FIGC) for breaching betting rules, the latest high-profile Italian player to hit the headlines in recent days for the wrong reasons.
Fagioli agreed to a plea bargain with the federation including therapy for a gambling addiction. He has been co-operating with authorities to mitigate his punishment. That allowed the minimum ban of three years for players betting on matches to be greatly reduced.
