Roma Could Be Awarded 2005-06 Scudetto As Christian Vieri Demands Inter's Title Be Revoked
Could the 2005-06 Scudetto be moving on again to Rome?
Christian Vieri - Atalanta-Udinese - Serie A (Grazia Neri)Former Inter star Christian Vieri has asked the federal prosecutors of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) to remove the club's 2005-06 Scudetto title, according to La Repubblica.
The 36-year-old's request is based on his claim of being a victim of espionage, alleging that the club were spying on him. The situation also involves a civil case against Inter and telecommunications company Telecom Italia.
Massimo Moratti's club were awarded the 2005-06 title after it was stripped from Juventus in the wake of the Calciopoli scandal.
If Vieri is successful, the Scudetto from 2006 is likely to be awarded to Roma, who moved up to second in the standings from fourth after Milan also suffered a heavy points penalty.
The preliminary hearings regarding the matter are underway in Milan.
Vieri, with the assistance of lawyer Daniele Buongiorno, says Inter breached article 18 of the Code of Sporting Justice, which states that a violation of the statute or federal rules by a club will result in the non-assignment or withdrawal of a champion status in Italy.
The former Italian international last played for Atalanta in the 2008-09 season, but constant injuries took their toll on the striker and he was never able to replicate his impressive goal-scoring form after leaving Inter in 2005. A move to play in Brazil collapsed late last year.
Vieri's demands are certain to cause shockwaves through the whole of Italy, as Calciopoli is already a very controversial subject, with many Calcio fans divided over the role Inter, Moratti and Telecom Italia played in the scandal. -
