In May 1949, a few days after Superga, a six-year-old boy disappeared from Turin. He was Sandro Mazzola. When his mother found him, she discovered he had a brother: Ferruccio.
Throughout Italy, Sandro was the symbol of loyalty to Inter. But one day, that loyalty cost him that very brother. And at the center of it all was a cup of coffee.

Si è chiuso oggi, con la sentenza della Corte di Cassazione, il processo che la Procura di Torino ha condotto contro l’ex-Amministratore Delegato della Juventus Antonio Giraudo ed il medico sociale Riccardo Agricola con le accuse di doping e frode sportiva.
Per quanto riguarda l’accusa di frode sportiva la Corte di Cassazione ha accolto sì il ricorso della Procura, annullando l’assoluzione pronunciata in appello, ma ha anche dichiarato scaduti i termini di prescrizione del reato ponendo così fine al processo. Il ricorso per il reato di frode sportiva è stato accolto dalla Cassazione in quanto, pur non essendo all’epoca dei fatti ancora in vigore la legge sul doping (introdotta nel 2000), è stato ritenuto, differentemente da quanto espresso nella sentenza d’Appello, che le accuse in oggetto (ovvero la somministrazione eccessiva di farmaci) potessero comunque essere considerate come violazioni della legge del 1989 appunto sulla frode sportiva.
