Italian Soccer: four clubs get sanctions

[Krazy]

An Italian sports tribunal demoted Juventus to Serie B and stripped it of its last two Serie A titles on Friday. Lazio and Fiorentina also were demoted to the second division, while AC Milan was spared relegation but was given a 15-point penalty in the top division and will not play in European tournaments this season.

Juventus will start next season in serie B with a penalty of 30 points in the standing.

Meanwhile, Fiorentina and Lazio will be joining Juventus in the second division for the 2006-2007 season. Fiorentina will start with a 12-point deduction, while Lazio will have seven less points to deal with.

Juventus and AC Milan who were the qualifiers to the champions League will not take part in the champions league.
