But only when they are Italian, apparently. This article from the BBC examines some of the major football match-fixing scandals of the past in light of the current Serie A debacle.
As a result of the 2006 scandal, Italian club giants Juventus, Lazio, and Fiorentina were demoted to Serie B, with Juventus likely to stay there for at least two years after a 30-point deduction from next season's total. Juventus were also stripped of their last two league titles. In addition, AC Milan were handed a 15-point deduction, but they remain in Serie A. All four clubs have been banned from European tournament play.
And yet they still won the World Cup. That's the worst.
