The death of Gianluca Vialli, former star striker of the Italian national team, still triggers reactions in the midst of pain for firing a bastion of the “azurra”.
Vialli succumbed after a long battle with cancer that accelerated in the final days of December, until he died earlier this month.
Given the fact, Dino Baggio, Vialli’s former teammate, gave strong statements to the Italian television station Tv7, which was picked up by Diario As of Spain, in which he inferred that his friend could have been affected by the substances ingested in the decade of the 90s.
Vialli deteriorated rapidly in his fight against pancreatic cancer that attacked him for five years, to the point of leaving his position as head of delegation in the Italian team on December 14.
“It would be necessary to investigate the substances we took at that time. There was always doping.” Dino Baggio spoke out about the death of “Luca” Vialli
Baggio’s statements indicate that, when they played more than 20 years ago, they consumed substances that could affect their body and not be detected in time.
“Luca left our lives too soon. It would be necessary to investigate the substances we took at that time. There was always doping and it should be understood if some supplements did harm over time,” Baggio said in the interview.
The player also added that “I’m scared for myself, it’s happening to too many footballers.”
Gianluca Vialli passed away on January 6 at the age of 58, joining Sinisa Mihajlovic as the last two deceased former footballers.
