The Italian football trio Nicolo Fagioli, Nicolo Zaniolo, and Sandro Tonali got involved in a serious betting scandal, but in this case this scandal will help people open their eyes to gambling addiction.

"Juventus" defender Nicolo Fagioli received a seven-month ban from participating in football matches. He will also undergo rehabilitation for his addiction and will have to pay a fine of 12.5 thousand euros.

N. Fagioli opened up to "Gazzetta" newspaper: "I once asked Gatti (a teammate) to loan me 40 thousand euros, saying it was for a watch I wanted to buy. I had to pay him back. My account was still controlled by my mom.

Later, Dragusinas lent me 40 thousand euros, which I also had to return. At that time, my debts were around 3 million euros, and soon I received threats: "We will break your legs."

I had so many debts, when I won bets, it didn't change anything. They kept saying to me: "We will break your legs if you don't return our money."
