An investigation has been opened after Lazio medic Ivo Pulcini claimed a current Serie A player failed a medical in 2019 and \u2018was not fit to play football\u2019 due to cardiac anomalies.<\/p>\n

The issue of medical checks on players has inevitably climbed back to the forefront after Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove collapsed during Sunday\u2019s Serie A match against Inter.<\/p>\n

He is now in hospital and undergoing further tests to ascertain what caused the collapse and brief cardiac arrest.<\/p>\n

All players in Serie A must undergo strict checks before they are given the so-called \u2018idoneit\u00e0 sportiva\u2019 \u2013 a certificate from the authorities confirming he is fit and healthy enough to play sport at a professional level.<\/p>\n

This was the test that Lens defender Kevin Danso failed over the summer, highlighting cardiac irregularities and prompting the abandonment of the transfer.<\/p>\n

Now Lazio chief medic Ivo Pulcini has caused controversy with an interview in Il Messaggero newspaper where he suggests the tests are not being implemented correctly.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2019 I examined a very important player, who now is doing very well and is currently playing in Serie A, but I found he was not fit to play football.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur then director Igli Tare wanted him at all costs, so we took him to three different clinics for checks, but they all came back with the same answer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now FIGC prosecutor Giuseppe Chin\u00e8 has opened an investigation to find out who it is and whether any steps were skipped in the testing process.<\/p>\n

There are already those checking the dates and suggesting it could be a reference to current Milan defender Strahinja Pavlovic, who failed a medical with Lazio in 2019 when he was still at Partizan Belgrade.<\/p>\n

Since then, he has played for AS Monaco, Cercle Bruges, FC Basel, RB Salzburg and joined Milan for \u20ac20m including bonuses in July 2024.<\/p>\n
