Hehe. Inter's best chance of winning a title

    ROME, June 25 (Reuters) - Inter Milan should be awarded last season's
    Serie A title if Juventus and AC Milan are found guilty of sporting
    fraud, according to Inter owner Massimo Moratti.

    'If Juventus and Milan are hit by a punitive sentence, it seems to me
    normal that first place should be reassigned to Inter,' Moratti was
    quoted as saying in La Gazzetta dello Sport on Sunday.

    'In the past, when a club was punished for illegal behaviour, the
    team that finished just behind them was awarded their place in the
    standings.'

    Champions Juventus, Milan, Fiorentina and Lazio - among the elite of
    Italian football - were charged with sporting fraud last week after
    an Italian Football Federation (FIGC) investigation into alleged
    match-fixing in Serie A.

    All four clubs - as well as 26 individuals facing charges - have been
    ordered to appear at a sports tribunal in Rome's Olympic Stadium,
    starting on June 29.

    Clubs found guilty face point deductions, relegation and being
    stripped of their titles.

    Inter, who last won the Serie A title in 1989, finished third behind
    Juventus and city rivals AC last season.

    Turin giants Juventus are at the centre of the scandal after the
    publication last month of intercepted telephone conversations between
    its former general manager Luciano Moggi and senior Italian Football
    Federation (FIGC) officials discussing refereeing appointments during
    the 2004-05 season.

    Earlier this week Milan president Silvio Berlusconi, the former prime
    minister, said his club was innocent of all wrongdoing and laid claim
    to Juventus's last two Serie A titles.

    The tribunal is expected to deliver its verdicts between June 7 and
    9, the date of the World Cup final. Italy play Australia in the World
    Cup second round on Monday.

    Any club or individual who is convicted can ask for an appeals trial
    which the FIGC has promised will end by July 27, in time for the FIGC
    to tell UEFA which teams will compete in next season's Champions
    League and UEFA Cup competitions.

    Hehe. Said before they must be loving all this. Strong chance that they won't have any viable rivals next season.
