Soccer Shocker: Juventus Midfielder Slapped with 7-Month Ban Amid Betting Scandal
Nicolò Fagioli Suspended for Illegal Betting
Juventus‘ rising star, Nicolò Fagioli, is taking a timeout from the football pitch. He’s been slapped with a seven-month ban due to some sketchy betting business. It turns out he broke the rules – the Sporting Justice Code’s Article 24, to be precise. That rule says no soccer player can dabble in betting on matches.
But there’s a silver lining here – his ban was slashed a bit because he decided to play nice with the authorities.
Nicolò Fagioli Suspended But With Shaved-Off Time
The ban isn’t just about sitting out seven months, it’s got a little extra zing: Fagioli has to dive into a six-month therapy session to sort out his gambling habit. And he’s got to step into the spotlight, too – attending at least 10 public meetings in the next five months. This is all part of a secret deal to shave off some time from his on-pitch penalty, which would have been a whopping 12 months. Plus, he’s got a €12,500 bill to settle. He didn’t get off scot-free, but he got the handslap.
Trouble Brews for Tonali and Zaniolo
Now here’s a kicker – it’s not just Fagioli in the hot seat. Two other footballers are in the spotlight – Sandro Tonali from Newcastle and Nicolò Zaniolo from Aston Villa. They’re also being grilled over this betting brouhaha, which makes the plot thicken… They still haven’t been handslapped, though.
Fagioli’s Bittersweet Sidelining
Young Fagioli is taking a hit right when he’s shining bright. He’s been making waves in Juventus, showing promise in six out of eight Serie A games this season. But now, with Nicolò Fagioli suspended, being sidelined for almost the entire 2023/24 soccer season, Juventus will have to pick up the slack somehow.
There’s a glimmer of hope, though – Fagioli will be back in action for the last two games in May next year, facing off against Bologna and Monza. Juventus will have to make do for their next Serie A matchup with AC Milan at San Siro on Sunday, October 22.
