And he takes himself to Brescia.

he fails a drug test.

Dave DavisHOST
Now he fought this and fought this and fought this and eventually he got it cleared on a technicality eight years after the fact.
Dave DavisHOST
But it is interesting that it was just after he joined Brescia that he got hit with this and Barcelona are a club who for many decades have been rumoured suggested that there's nefarious action going on there with certain things the players are being given be it supplements be it injections So Pep goes to Italy and gets caught.
Dave DavisHOST

The doctor from Brescia follows you over to Barcelona.
Mary SchneiderNARRATOR
Instead of the desired name of the city, there obtruded themselves the following thoughts.
Mary SchneiderNARRATOR
Capua, Brescia, the lion of Brescia.
Mary SchneiderNARRATOR
This lion I saw objectively before me in the form of a marble statue, but I soon noticed that he resembled less the lion of the Statue of Liberty in Brescia, which I saw only in a picture, than the other marble lion which I saw in Lucerne on the monument in honor of the Swiss Guard fallen in the Tuileries.
Mary SchneiderNARRATOR
I finally thought of the desired name.
Mary SchneiderNARRATOR
It was Verona.
Mary SchneiderNARRATOR
The Hungarian word kapsoi, greed after money, surely furnished a determinant for the displacement.
Mary SchneiderNARRATOR
Naturally, I also found those more direct associations which connected Capua and Verona as geographical ideas and as Italian words of the same rhythm.
Mary SchneiderNARRATOR
The same held true for Brescia.
