Ramon Diaz, the coach of the Argentine “River Plate” accused the Italian champion “Juventus” of doping. According to the former player of “Napoli”, “Fiorentina” and “Inter”, “Juventus” players in 1996 The “Millionaires” were defeated in the Intercontinental Cup by the use of banned stimulants. Diaz was the manager of River Plate when Juventus beat his side 1-0 thanks to Alessandro del Piero’s goal.
“Many years have passed. In that final, the difference between the physical conditions of the teams was huge. I’m not talking about gaming, but physical excellence. Complain to FIFA? It’s none of my business. I’m just expressing my opinion now,” said Ramon Diaz in an interview with “Gazetta dello Sport”.
“Doping? Shame on Diaz for his words and insinuations. We became world champions because we were the best team on the field. “Juventus” was a strong team, although the game against the Argentines was very difficult. A few months ago, we were winning the Champions League because we were strong again,” said Angelo Di Livio, the former midfielder of the Turin club.
