If blame moggi not for doing it but he must be more careful when you do something like this:D
This reminds me of something I mentioned earliar.. I mean the question is how much did Juve really know about this apart from Moggi (if true). We had the doping scandals where dr agricola was the only one punished, I see it as possible that hopefully only moggi gets punished for this too.

we'll get to know the final verdict and nothing more imo.
If your right so let it be, I wish the triad and Juventus all the best in their trials and to overcome it in their favour.. be it innocent or ... guilty :D.

All I ask is for evidence to shut me up.. I say no more. A story has two sides, the triad aint commented just yet I would like to hear there side of the story despite how as obvious as it may seem...

Thank you aswell. We heard enough from the Press, Media etc. I'm yet to hear from the Triade and the board something about this. And as you said, a story always has two sides, lets hear the other side now.

Actually, they have commented. They said it was all media BS.

I heard Giraudo only commenting about this. But he didn't say more than 5 or 6 words other than It's media dilemma like usually. When Moggi was asked he replied that we're in a press silence. Now that they want to leave I expect moggi to atleast reply to all these accusations.

Buffon: I did nothing wrong

Gianluigi Buffon was interrogated by public prosecutors today and, although he did bet on sports, insists it was not done illegally.

“It is true that I placed a few bets, but only where it was allowed,” explained the Juventus goalkeeper in the Turin magistrate’s office today.

“I stopped in the autumn of 2005, when it was banned for players to gamble. I have always respected the rules, both legal and disciplinary. I only ever bet on foreign football and other sports, because in Italy I was not allowed to do anything else.”

Buffon was named as one of the players under investigation by the Parma public prosecutor for a betting ring.

There were newspaper rumours these allegations could cost him his place in Italy’s World Cup squad, so the former Parma shot-stopper was eager to clear his name quickly.

It is legal for Italians to bet on Internet sites for overseas football, but at the start of this season all players were banned from betting on any sports to avoid the possibility of a conflict of interests.

weird that the prosecutors interrogated buffon when/if they don't have evidence that he broke the rules (by betting on italians matches ).

Well if im right he will have a press meeting on monday morning. Either way Moggi is the best of liars even if he did tell the truth noone would notice. :D

Its interesting so does it mean he didnt know this seasons new rules? If so I guess he may be found guilty for it.

hmm well all I can say is thank you italian newspaper and the twats in napoli who had to come out with this stuff now. Theyve messed up a good farewell of our triad, put suspicions in almost every juve fans head and most of all messed up the national team. As its all a conspiracy, its time i started my own off and I think there is some foreign influence in all of this. Italian football is at its lowest... shameful indeed.

from what he said he is not guilty of anything , stops betting before the new rules

Ahh right, I read it again. Thanks for the correction. Therefore by the sound of things the guys clean, unless they bring up some evidence, like video footage of him stepping into a bookie and actually putting on a bet.

i dont see anything wrong on betting on local matches either as long as you're not a part of that match in a playing or management capacity.imagine capello betting a million that zlatan would be starting the next game.he'd be richer than bill gates by now.

I am just always wondering why such things are coming out more than one year after they happened just days before our last match. If the police did know about something illegal why didn't they arrest the people a half year ago??? Why is the media always informed first? Why are there just such a lot of rumours and no facts if the whole thing happened more than one year ago???
I just hope that all the things are cleared fast and that it gets fast decided whether Juventus as a club or Moggi of his own did something illegal without the club knowing about it.
