The forward is facing a long disqualification because the doping test of the Italian player was positive. Traces of cocaine were found in the player's body. After the 21st round of the Serie A matches against the "Inter" team on January 28, in which the striker played for 69 minutes, a doping test was performed on the player and the player did not pass it. The second sample of F. Flachi will be analyzed in the anti-doping laboratories of the Italian Olympic Committee and it will be checked whether the first test was accurate. The player probably will not be able to play the next matches as a precaution until his second sample is examined. If the second test is also positive, the player will face a disqualification for up to a year. This episode is not the first this season when a player faces a long-term disqualification. In September 2006, the striker of "Sampdoria" was banned from playing for two months along with Moris Carrozzieri, a member of the "Atalanta" team, due to bets.
