AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has called on UEFA [Images] to open an inquiry into allegations that Olympique Marseille players received injections before the 1993 Champions League final.

Former Marseille player Jean-Jacques Eydelie was quoted in the French sports weekly L'Equipe Magazine on Saturday as saying: "Before the final, we were asked to stand in line in order to receive an injection."

According to Eydelie, the only Marseille player to refuse the injections was former German international Rudi Voeller.

Marseille beat Milan 1-0 to become the first French club to lift Europe's top club trophy.

"We are certain that UEFA will open an inquiry. If they don't we will ask them to do so, officially, as AC Milan," Galliani told Milan's website.

"Our lawyer (Leandro) Cantamessa is looking into the matter now."

Eydelie's allegations cast a shadow across an already murky period in Marseille's history.

Less than 24 hours after they beat Milan, news broke that the team's previous league win against Valenciennes, a victory that clinched their fifth consecutive French title, had been fixed.

Marseille were stripped of their title and demoted to the second division. They were also refused the right to defend their Champions League title.

"It's something that hasn't just appeared out of nowhere," Galliani said of the new allegations.

"In 1993, Milan played the final of the Intercontinental (World Club) Cup and the final of the European Supercup in place of Marseille.

"There have always been rumours about this French team. Even so, it makes me sad to read certain things, to reopen old wounds."
