  "account": "Daniel Maldini, son of Italian football legend Paolo Maldini, reportedly failed a breathalyser test and tested positive for drug use after a car accident in Milan. The 24-year-old Cagliari striker was involved in the collision on Sunday morning, following his team's 2-1 victory over Atalanta. Police found Maldini, who was driving a Porsche Carrera with three others in the vehicle, at fault for the accident. He failed a breathalyser test with readings of 0.91mg/l and 0.89mg/l, both exceeding Italy's legal limit of 0.5mg/l. Consequently, his driving license was confiscated. Maldini's drug test, while preliminary, also came back positive. The final toxicology results are pending. Despite the incident, Maldini was not injured and was discharged from Fatebenefratelli Hospital on Sunday, returning home to recover. He had been granted a day off following the match against Atalanta and was set to resume training the following day. As of now, Cagliari has not yet taken disciplinary action against Maldini.",
