Italian league caves, lamely reduces sentences
The Italian clubs implicated in a match-fixing scandal have had their punishments slashed on appeal.
Lazio and Fiorentina have been reinstated to Serie A - but with points deductions increased from 12 to 19 for Fiorentina and seven to 11 for Lazio.
Juventus' hopes of overturning demotion to Serie B were dashed, but instead of starting on minus 30 points, they have only had 17 points taken away.
AC Milan stay in Serie A with their penalty cut from 15 points to eight and have also been allowed to play in the Champions League qualifying rounds this season - having originally been barred from Europe.
