CONI verdicts expected
Friday 27 October, 2006
The CONI Court of Arbitration is expected to hand out its verdicts on Friday, as Juventus, Lazio, Fiorentina and Milan hope for a reduction to their penalties.
The four clubs were all punished by the Federal Court sporting tribunal on July 25 for their part in the summer Calciopoli scandal and decided to present their appeal to the CONI Arbitration Court, the highest grade of justice in Italian sports.
The clubs agreed to keep the dispute within the realm of sporting justice after receiving “signals of willingness” from sports officials to conclude the situation fairly.
The final decision should be revealed in the evening after the stock market closes, although a CONI spokesman confirmed to Reuters that there is no official information of when the verdicts will be handed out, meaning everything might be postponed to Monday.
Juventus were stripped of their last two Serie A titles, demoted to Serie B and had a 30-point penalty reduced to 17 after a first appeal. Fiorentina, Lazio and Milan escaped relegation to the lower League but were docked points in Serie A; 19 for Fiorentina, 11 for Lazio and eight for Milan.
While CONI insists nothing has been decided in advance, pundits have predicted that the Bianconeri and the Viola’s handicap could be softened by seven points, whereas Lazio could see their penalty reduced to -6.
Also, it seems unlikely that Milan will be granted more than a two or three-point discount. Reggina were also punished and started the campaign on -15, but the minnows’ case will be examined in November.

I wanna see Tardelli and Cobolli's reaction and the 2 cats outside Juve's headquarters contesting the new board. 
It seems the decision is delayed again because the five idiot judges can't find any united decision regarding Fiorentina...
Definitely, Juventus's punishment will be decreased by 7-10 points...
