“Too many players are sick. Vialli went too soon»- Corriere.it

“We should investigate the substances we have taken in that time. The there has always been doping. We need to understand if certain supplements have hurt over time. I have fear me too, it’s happening to too many players. Are the shocking words of
Dino Baggio to Tv7after the death of Gianluca Vialli, which occurred from pancreatic cancer on Friday 6 January.

The former midfielder in his career he wore the jerseys of Turin, Inter, Juventus, Parma, Lazio, Blackburn, Ancona, Triestina and the national team (60 appearances, seven goals), participating with the Azzurri in the World Cups in USA ’94 and France ’98 and Euro 1996 in England. And now raises worrying fears. Dino Baggior played with Vialli at the time of Juventus, from 1992 to 1994 and with the national team. «We should go back to what we took in those periods — he said -, we should investigate a little about the substances taken. I don’t know if it’s due to this, but there has always been doping. They have never taken strange things, because there is a percentage you have to keep. But with time we have to see if some supplements are good or not».

And again: «In my years there was doping. You didn’t take strange things, 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 that caused problems».

Dino Baggio cannot forget the years spent with Vialli: «I have wonderful memories of Gianluca, he was a man in the locker room and he wanted to make the young players growthe. I was in his team when I was 21 and he always had a good word for us. He left our lives too soon », he concluded. Dino Baggio’s words bring to mind those of Claudius Lotitopresident of Lazio, on the occasion of the death of Sinisa Mihajlovic (who passed away due to leukemia, 16 December 2022): «I think we need to look into some issues, some diseases recur too often which could be linked to the type of stress and, let’s call them thus, also treatments, I also mean what has happened now with vaccines, we do not know what they can determine, they are needed at this moment and must be done ».
