Is it funny?
Because if it is you should read all the other punch lines that retired FIGC Judges and other legal representatives still present in the FIGC had to say. You think I made that up? That is right out of La Repubblica when judges (unfortunately for us not selected to preside over the trial) were asked what Juve’s punishment should have been.
Those individuals ARE THE JUDGES!!!!!!!!!
A poll last year revealed that they are now Italy's most hated club. It was even posted in goal.com

1. Judges? The post before you said the man in question was a judge NOT assigned to the sporting trial, which means he was an 81 year old outsider, no better informed than you or I, who basically questioned the opinion of people given the job over him, which is a biased view in anyones book.
2. Goal.com as a souce? Please! Check any FOOTBALL thread for the credability of that site!
In any case relegation is not an Article 1 punishment. Not really sure why you are arguing that still.
Back on topic: I may be wrong here but I think I read somewhere in this forum the FIGC or the court changed some rules prior to calciopoli, creating the possibility to award a article 6 punishment to a (sum of) article 1 violation(s), kinda like a three-strikes-you're-out thing. After the verdict, they've changed it back. This way they created the legal grounds to demote Juve.
Isn't this a violation of the European Convention on Human Rights to which Italy (being an EEC country) has signed up to?
That's not the only right they violated.
Absolutely. It’s called the “Articolo Strutturato” literally structured article which allows a court to combine less serious offences and sentence based on a higher level infraction.
Quick summary;
Gsol: Relegation is not an article one punishment
Franky: Didnt they change the rules so it is?
Angela: Isnt it a violation of human rights?
Gsol: Yes to both!
Yet you say cant get relegated for article 1, now you say you can. You also say sporting trials aren't the same as real trials, then say its in breach of human rights? Make your mind up. The transfer system, technically, is a breach of freedom of trade laws, but this, my learned friend, is the governing body of a GAME! Not, as I said before, the Supreme Court.
