Inter's 2005-06 Scudetto Could Be Revoked

The 2005-06 title could be revoked again, this time from Inter...

The 2005-06 Scudetto that was stripped from Juventus and handed over to Inter following Calciopoli could be revoked from the Nerazzurri, according to Tuttosport.

Inter received the title by default after the sporting trial into Calciopoli. The then FIGC comissioner Guido Rossi handed the Nerazzurri the Scudetto, but reports suggest that decision could be overturned, meaning Inter would lose that title from their trophy cabinet.

Rossi has now said that the federal organisations such as the FIGC were not obliged to hand Inter any title.

"The federal organisms can intervene with non-assignment when there are certain reasons in relation to sporting ethics," Rossi told Tuttosport.

"For example, when other teams have been found not to have behaved correctly."

As things stand, new evidence at the Calcipoli trial in Naples has led the Italian FA to have a rethink on whether to re-open the sporting Calciopoli trial of 2006 following allegations of phone calls involving Inter and the then referee designator Paolo Bergamo.
