ITALY captain Fabio Cannavaro has failed a dope test after taking a medicine for an insect bite that contained the banned substance cortisone.

The 2006 World Player of the Year, 36, has claimed an exemption with Juventus insisting the sting could have become fatal but for immediate medical care.

Cannavaro will be interviewed by anti-doping chiefs later today.
