Because the team docter was convicted, not the Club itself. Once FC Juventus is charged with administering illegal substances, then Ajax can run and pout to UEFA. Before that day comes, sanction by UEFA will not take place.
Andy, I have to agree with the pansy boy and Emma on this one. It is like saying, well I gave Barry Bonds steroids, then watched him take them, then he got better, but I didn't do anything wrong. It's not all on Bonds, that is not how it works. The doctor has a responsibility to the team and to the players. He held a position of power and abused it.
Now in the picture of "should we take away championships?" No. There is no absolute way to prove that some, all, or none of the players were doping. What are you gonna do, watch a video of old Zizou and say,"Ohh, good pass, he was doping." No. It doesn't work that way either. If that is how it worked, the MLB would not let the Yanks play with any of their players, because the excuse for them being so good would be because they were "doping."
If you were going to take away Scudetti or what have you, you should give them to Milan, they need them BADLY.
