Match-fixing appeal date set
|
The Italian Olympic committee (CONI) will meet to hear Juventus' appeal against their punishments for the Italian match-fixing scandal in two weeks' time.
While Fiorentina, Milan and Lazio have all settled after the results of their appeals, the Bianconeri are the only team still facing relegation to Serie B.
They also have a 17-point deduction for their involvement in the affair, but will now head to the arbitration council to get that punishment reduced.
The Stadio Delle Alpi outfit have been hit hard by the adjudication, losing key men like Lilian Thuram, Gianluca Zambrotta and Fabio Cannavaro to La Liga and Partick Vieira to Internazionale.
Though boss Didier Deschamps insists there will be no more departures from the club, world stars David Trezeguet and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have persistently been linked with moves away from Turin.
Judge Angelo Piazza will preside over the hearing on August 18, which represents Juve's last chance to appeal the decision within a sporting context.
They may well take up the issue in the civil courts should the decision not go their way, but the repercussions of that choice could be monumental.
