Article body
Test failed
Kallon, a 24-year-old Sierra Leone international, failed a test after Inter's Serie A match against Udinese Calcio on 27 September. Kallon is in his third season at the San Siro, having previously played for Bologna FC, Genoa 1893, Reggina Calcio and Vicenza Calcio on loan.
Back injury
Gaddafi received a more lenient sentence because he did not request a new test after admitting to having used medicine to cure a back injury immediately after failing the test. The 30-year-old has never played for the first team during his first season at the Stadio Renato Curi.
