Juventus lose long-standing Calciopoli appeal

Juventus have lost their appeal to have the 2005-06 Serie A title revoked from Inter after the Calciopoli scandal.

The Bianconeri had two titles revoked in the summer of 2006, but as the first was in 2004-05 and left unassigned, the 2005-06 edition was given to Inter.

The Nerrazzuri finished third that season behind Juventus and Milan, but were the highest-finishing club after points were docked for influencing referees.

Juventus lodged an official appeal to have the case reopened but their protests were deemed inadmissible.

The Turin club had asked official bodies for the title returned to them, or at least for it not to be assigned to Inter.

They continue to count the 2004-05 and 2005-06 Serie A titles as theirs on merchandise and even the walls of the Juventus Stadium.
