Daniel Maldini case, Giulini defends the player: "Amplified and false news"

"I don't understand how certain news can get out. Certain newspapers take drugs." This is the response of the president of Cagliari, Tommaso Giulini, to those who ask him for a comment on the story of Daniel Maldini, who was stopped on Saturday night after an accident in Milan with a positive alcohol test.

"We are stunned and surprised - adds Giulini, from the Lega Serie A press room, explaining that in his opinion the importance of the news is amplified by the fact that Daniel is the son of the former captain of the national team and AC Milan Paolo -. We believe in the good faith of the boy who told us that he had drunk a couple of cocktails. The tests carried out are all negative".

"The emergency room report speaks of traces of THC - he continues -, if Daniel had smoked a joint, and I don't think so, there is a huge distinction with the ketamine that was talked about, I wonder where it could have come from. It is a serious substance and not a light drug, whoever spread certain news, be it the local police or the hospital, will have to take responsibility for it. I will see the boy tomorrow, my parents have already met him but it is very serious, also considering that Daniel is pre-summoned by the national team, believe that could have taken such heavy substances."

"I'm sorry there's an intention to overwhelm him. The truth will be known in a few days when the blood tests in the emergency room take place", he concludes.
