Carraro: Calciopoli got it wrong
Former Federation President Franco Carraro insists the Calciopoli scandal and 2006 Scudetto handed to Inter were a mistake.
The ex-FIGC chief resigned when the scandal broke in the summer of 2006 and was sentenced to four years away from the sport, but on appeal he was cleared of all charges.
“My resignation was not an admission of guilt, but the ban was extravagant,” said Carraro.
“All my errors were in good faith. On the legal, financial and sporting level, I leave Calciopoli as a good man with a clear record and this makes me happy.”
The scandal broke out just before the World Cup and Juventus saw their last two titles revoked, the 2005-06 trophy handed instead to third-placed Inter.
“On May 8 I resigned because the Federation needed calm at that moment and, being involved in the investigation, I could not guarantee that.
“I’m sorry many interpreted that as an admission of guilt. It is only right I no longer have operational roles within football, both because of my age and as renewal is important.”
The decision to give the Scudetto to Inter caused a great deal of controversy, especially as the interim President of the FIGC was Guido Rossi, a former member of the Nerazzurri board of directors.
“The decision to hand the Scudetto to Inter for 2005-06 was rushed,” added Carraro. “They could have and should have waited, especially with emotions running so high.
“I repeat that I think it is right to always assign the title, but in that occasion they got the timing all wrong. They really forced that decision through.”
