Palermo defender Moris Carrozzieri failed a cocaine test after Palermo's 1-0 home win over Torino on April 5, the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) said Thursday.

The test was part of CONI's new 'targeted' anti-doping testing scheme introduced in January.

Carrozzieri, 28, joined Palermo from Atalanta last summer.

He has also played for Sampdoria.

The tall (1.92m) centre-back has played 17 times for the Sicilian outfit this season.
