FIGC President Carlo Tavecchio says Juventus would have won the League without Calciopoli – ‘they have won 32 Scudetti’.
The Bianconeri were demoted to Serie B in 2006 after a scandal in which then-director Luciano Moggi was accused of holding too much influence over the selection of referees.
However, while Tavecchio says the Old Lady would have triumphed regardless, he maintains the verdict must be upheld.
“Juventus were clearly the strongest on the pitch,” the President told La Repubblica.

However, while Tavecchio says the Old Lady would have triumphed regardless, he maintains the verdict must be upheld.
“Juventus were clearly the strongest on the pitch,” the President told La Repubblica.
“They have won 32 Scudetti, the team did not steal anything and they wouldn’t have needed any hocus-pocus.
“I say this as an old Interista.
“However, the Calciopoli ruling, which sanctioned the behaviour of the club off the field, is the law and we’re here to enforce it.
“On March 23 the Supreme Court will have the final say on Calciopoli. Juve’s cause is reckless, and you’ll see, it’ll be the FIGC who claim damages.”
