Public prosecutor Raffaele Guariniello is continuing his investigation into the alleged use of illegal substances by Juve players from 1994-1998. Guariniello, who has already successfully managed to obtain indictments against managing director Antonio Giraudo and Dr Riccardo Agricola is now set to uncover which players were involved in the case. According to the reports in French daily L'Equipe, Zinedine Zidane and Didier Deschamps, along with Alessandro Del Piero, Angelo Di Livio and Moreno Torricelli were given iron-based substances in excessive quantities in order to boost their performances. According to the French paper, Guariniello also believes the players were unaware of the fact that they were administered substances forbidden by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
