MILAN (Reuters) - Italy's soccer federation FIGC said on Tuesday it has opened an investigation into Serie A club Lazio over potential violations of COVID-19 health protocols when carrying out testing.

FIGC inspected Lazio's sport centre near Rome and seized the results of swab tests on players ahead of last week's matches against Club Brugge and Torino, the federation said in a statement on its website.
