MILAN (AP) — Juventus midfielder Nicolò Fagioli has been banned for seven months by the Italian soccer federation for betting violations. Fagioli has agreed to a plea bargain with the federation that includes therapy for a gambling addiction. The 22-year-old Fagioli alerted the Italian soccer federation’s prosecutor about the case and has been co-operating with authorities to mitigate his punishment. That allowed the minimum ban of three years for players betting on soccer matches to be greatly reduced. Fagioli has reportedly never bet on matches involving Juventus.
