QUOTE CONI verdicts expected
Friday 27 October, 2006 - FI - channel4.com
The CONI Court of Arbitration is expected to hand out its verdicts on Friday, as Juventus, Lazio, Fiorentina and Milan hope for a reduction to their penalties.
The four clubs were all punished by the Federal Court sporting tribunal on July 25 for their part in the summer Calciopoli scandal and decided to present their appeal to the CONI Arbitration Court, the highest grade of justice in Italian sports.
The clubs agreed to keep the dispute within the realm of sporting justice after receiving “signals of willingness†from sports officials to conclude the situation fairly.
The final decision should be revealed in the evening after the stock market closes, although a CONI spokesman confirmed to Reuters that there is no official information of when the verdicts will be handed out, meaning everything might be postponed to Monday.
Juventus were stripped of their last two Serie A titles, demoted to Serie B and had a 30-point penalty reduced to 17 after a first appeal. Fiorentina, Lazio and Milan escaped relegation to the lower League but were docked points in Serie A; 19 for Fiorentina, 11 for Lazio and eight for Milan.
While CONI insists nothing has been decided in advance, pundits have predicted that the Bianconeri and the Viola’s handicap could be softened by seven points, whereas Lazio could see their penalty reduced to -6.
Also, it seems unlikely that Milan will be granted more than a two or three-point discount. Reggina were also punished and started the campaign on -15, but the minnows’ case will be examined in November.

QUOTE (I_Rossoneri @ Oct 27 2006, 06:36 PM) Well it's about time we had a little luck... Actually while I'm at it - wouldn't it be funny if Gila scored? (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devilsmiley.gif) That would be great but I don't even think he will play. But if he really scored in this one, then that would be 2 wins for him, 1. his confidence would shoot right back up and secondly he would prove all the doubters wrong. But I really don't care who scores, Dida could score for all I care, as long as we win this one. Because I know I have been more optimistic then most about this season, but if we lose this one, then we could kiss the scudetto goodbye

yeah forgot. here an article: CONI cuts Calciopoli penalties Friday 27 October, 2006
Juventus, Lazio and Fiorentina have had their Calciopoli penalties reduced, but Milan remain with an eight-point handicap.
The Biancocelesti and Bianconeri had the biggest discount, as both have had eight points handed back to them after tonight’s verdict from the CONI Arbitration.
Fiorentina were hoping for a substantial discount on their original 19-point penalty, but it has merely been cut to –15.
Milan’s appeal failed, as their eight-point handicap will stand for the 2006-07 campaign.
This means that the current Serie A table now has Lazio level with Milan on seven points and Fiorentina on 0.
In Serie B, Juventus leapfrog up to 10 points and 11th place.
The clubs lodged their appeals in front of the commission on October 11 and 12, but a decision was only formally announced this evening.
The original Calciopoli trial had inflicted more severe handicaps on the sides, as Juventus, Fiorentina and Lazio were demoted to Serie B with penalties of 30, 12 and seven points respectively. Milan stayed in the top flight with a 15-point penalty.
These verdicts were cut on appeal so that only Juve remained in the Second Division with a 17-point penalty. Fiorentina and Lazio returned to Serie A, starting from –19 and –11, while Milan went back into the Champions League through the preliminary round and began the campaign from –8 points.
This could well be the final act in the Calciopoli trial that has dragged on since the summer, amid wiretapping scandals, match-fixing allegations and claims of pressure put on referees to favour certain sides.
Yet there may be more on the horizon, as clubs still unhappy with their lot could in theory appeal to the TAR tribunal. As it is outside the jurisdiction of the sporting courts, this civil action would infuriate the Federation and might earn new penalties for the sides involved.
