Juventus relegation stays
ROME, Aug 18: Juventus on Friday failed to persuade Italy's football federation to repeal their relegation to the second division following a match-fixing trial, the club said in a statement.
A soccer tribunal stripped Juve of their last two Italian titles and demoted them to Serie B where they will start next season with a -17 point punishment.
The club sought a repeal in a conciliatory meeting arbitrated by Italy's Olympic Committee.—Reuters
