Juventus to lodge appeal with CONI
Afp, Rome
Juventus, who on Tuesday were stripped of the Serie A titles they won in 2005-06 and in 2004-05 and relegated to the second division with a 17-point penalty for match-fixing, are to lodge a further appeal against their punishment with the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI).The disgraced Turin club will present their case to CONI, the governing body of Italian sport which oversees the activities of all the various federations, including the FIGC, by Saturday. Juventus will also appeal to CONI against the sentences handed down to former general manager Luciano Moggi and chief executive Antonio Giraudo, who were both banned from taking up a role in sport for five years. The shamed club were originally thrown into Serie B with a 30-point deficit for the start of the forthcoming season by an FIGC tribunal for their part in the scandal, before an appeal saw the points-penalty reduced to 17.
