Cannavaro might be a doper

The AP is reporting that Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro has failed a doping test, which Juventus claim is a result of using cortisone to treat a bee sting. But, given the propensity for athletes to use cortisone shots regularly and legally, it's hard to believe that that's really the case. From the report:

CONI would not say when Cannavaro tested positive, but said Torri would hold a hearing with the defender and the physician involved in the case.
