Palermo's Carrozzieri fails drug test

Soccer Betting Lines

04/24/2009 - Palermo, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Palermo defender Morris Carrozzieri has tested positive for cocaine, according to the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI).

CONI revealed that traces of Benzoylecgonine were found in tests carried out on the 28-year-old following his side's 1-0 victory over Torino on April 5.

Meanwhile, Palermo have pledged to help Carrozzieri rather than punish him.

"If this test result proves to be true we will obviously help Carrozzieri in fixing this problem," Club president Maurizio Zamparini said. "This obviously denotes that he has a psychological insecurity. If Morris denies everything we will try to do further tests to bring light to this matter.

"Certainly the financial damage for Palermo is serious but I am more upset for Morris than angry and I will try to help him recover."
