Come on, Jay. Get with the program!
$#@! FIGC!
They're out to get us again!
Another conspiracy, probably orchestrated by the Moratti and or Berlu!
We should go play in a different league!
Call our players back from the NT!

Apart from that .... do carry on
Okay, I get your point and I agree that a police investigation is something different. But if there is no political motivation behind it, why wasn't Conte summoned before? Why did they search his house with a warrant, many weeks after the accusations against him have been made public? Nor does it explain why they raid the training camp of the *whole* national team. Even if the FIGC is not involved, because the police expects someone to blab, why would they expect evidence at the camp? This is ridicolous.
There is political motivation behind it. In lots of ways. One of the ways is that people only believe the justice system is doing something, when you houses are being searched and people are being arrested. This dynamic is even more important in Italy than other countries. The justice system itself is also a political actor, let's not forget that. Although most European countries adhere to the trias politica principle, the three branches will always affect each other.
The timing and the people involved make it even more political. Why Conte? Why a man who has basically WON everything? It doesn't make sense. Not only does a winner not like to lose, he also, by winning, proves that he does his job, which is trying to win. Furthermore Conte is a coach. If a coach tries to cheat, information will be leaked within seconds. Everyone knows this. And even it wouldn't, for a scam to work, the players would have to agree. It is far more easier to approach an individual player to make a mistake. And last but not least, if you can bet on a player getting sent off or receiving a yellow card or a team conceding a penalty.. Why fix games? Suspicious results are risky. But a naive foul in the box?
So you see, lots of things don't add up here.

I agree, Seven. The whole thing is fishy.
Theory: Angry at Juve's revival and at losing out on the title, Berlusconi, knowing that an investigation was underway, payed Carobbio to throw dirt on Conte in the media (Berlu's media), in order to ruin Juve's mercato and create a possibility that Conte would be banned from calcio.
It's a bit far out, but would you be surprised?
Carobbio is the only one who has dirt on Conte. None of Carobbio's teammates at Siena agree with him. Couldn't that suggest that someone got to Carobbio and payed him off?

Police procedure. What would have happened if they had done it during the title run in? Bigger controversy, more conspiracy theories. But really they just do it when it suits their investigation.
This is a real match-fixing scandal with proof, so anyone who has been named by individuals arrested will be searched. Whether there is legitimacy to the claims is another matter, but the police are all over everything.
That the media are using it as a means to destabilise Juve is another thing.

Monte that idiot is now suggesting that Serie A and probably B and the whole sport have a 2 to 3 year stop because of all this.
Is this guy insane? How much ecomomic impact would something like this create? Not to mention the fact that all players will probably
look to void their contracts with their current teams to go play elsewhere and then what? in 2, 3 years we will have a league of brand new teams and players? Insanity! They better shoot his dumb idea down asap!
