What?? An Another Italian Match-Fixing Scheme?? The Hell U Say
ESPNsoccernet - Europe - Italian players charged after match-fixing probe

Quote:
ROME, July 4 (Reuters) - Five players have been charged over alleged match-fixing in last season's home and away Serie A fixtures between Atalanta and relegated Livorno, Italy's football federation (FIGC) said on Friday.



Atalanta's Gian Paolo Bellini and former Livorno captain David Balleri have been charged with seeking to fix the results of the games on Dec 23, which ended in a 1-1 draw, and May 4, which Atalanta won 3-2, the FIGC said.

Livorno brothers Emanuele and Antonio Filippini, along with team mate Alessandro Grandoni, have also been reported by the federation's prosecutor to the national disciplinary commission for a failure to inform the authorities about the events.

Italian soccer has only just got over the 2006 match-fixing scandal, which led to Juventus being relegated to Serie B and AC Milan, Lazio, Fiorentina and Reggina being deducted league points.

Another........to the integrity of the Italian game.

Why don't they just focus on their diving?

Serie A has been snakebitten the last few years. A couple of years ago they played half their season to emoty arenas thanks to fan violence, making watching a Serie A match on TV a truyl surreal experience.

Now another gambling, match-fixing scandal. If that loss had proved key to Livorno getting relegated, Livorno fans have every reason to be upset.

Whats especially galling is that the Italian judiciary eviscerates most penalties for the cheaters. Juventus was supposed to be relegated to Serie C. Probably not much will be done. Perhaps FIFA should ban all Italian teams from international club competition for a season to send the Italians a message.
