Nicola Caccia
Nicola Caccia (born 10 April 1970) is an Italian former professional footballer who played as a forward. Playing career Caccia made his breakthrough with the Tuscan club Empoli, where he made his first team debut at the age of 17. Following brief stints with Bari and Modena, Caccia rose to prominence with Ancona, which resulted in a transfer to Piacenza in Serie A in the summer of 1995. Caccia scored 14 goals in Serie A for Piacenza, and was one of the main surprises in the 1995-96 Serie A season.

Caccia was Napoli's main signing in the summer of 1996, but despite being club topscorer, failed to impress with merely seven goals. Instead, Atalanta bought Caccia as replacement for Filippo Inzaghi. In three seasons with the Bergamo club, Caccia scored 40 goals, albeit the final two seasons were spent in Serie B, since Atalanta were re ...

Doping (sport)
In competitive sports, doping is the use of banned athletic performance-enhancing drugs by athletic competitors as a way of cheating in sports. The term ''doping'' is widely used by organizations that regulate sporting competitions. The use of drugs to enhance performance is considered unethical, and therefore prohibited, by most international sports organizations, including the International Olympic Committee. Furthermore, athletes (or athletic programs) taking explicit measures to evade detection exacerbate the ethical violation with overt deception and cheating. The origins of doping in sports go back to the very creation of sport itself. From ancient usage of substances in chariot racing to more recent controversies in doping in baseball, doping in tennis, doping at the Olympic Games, and doping at the Tour de France, popular views among athletes have varied widely from country to country over the years. The general trend among authorities and sporting organizations over the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
