=Drug bans=

On 22 September 2004 Bachini tested positive for cocaine usage while at Brescia; on 25 November 2004, he was suspended for 9 months. Following the termination of his suspension, he was acquired by Siena in 2005; in January 2006, however, Bachini's urine sample collected from the match against Lazio on 4 December 2005 tested positive for cocaine again, and as a result, he was banned for life by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) as of 10 January 2006.{{cite press release|url=http://www.legaseriea.it/uploads/default/attachments/comunicati/comunicati_m/6734/files/allegati/6739/cu26723.pdf|title=Comunicato Ufficiale N°267 (2005–06)|work=Commissione Disciplinare|publisher=Lega Calcio|language=Italian|date=3 March 2006|accessdate=21 August 2017}}{{cite press release|url=http://www.legaseriea.it/uploads/default/attachments/comunicati/comunicati_m/6737/files/allegati/6742/cu3012.pdf|title=Comunicato Ufficiale N°301 (2005–06)|work=Commissione Disciplinare|publisher=Lega Calcio|language=Italian|date=30 March 2006|accessdate=21 August 2017|archive-date=21 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170821175756/http://www.legaseriea.it/uploads/default/attachments/comunicati/comunicati_m/6737/files/allegati/6742/cu3012.pdf|url-status=dead}}
