BBC World Service - Sporting Witness, Calciopoli: The Juventus scandal

In 2006, a match-fixing scandal rocked Italian football

In 2006, Juventus were relegated to the Italian second division due to their involvement in the Calciopoli match-fixing scandal. Journalist Paddy Agnew shares his memories.

In 2006, Italy's most successful team, Juventus, were relegated from the Italian top division due to their involvement in the Calciopoli match-fixing scandal.

The decision to demote Juventus came just days after Italy had won the 2006 World Cup in Germany. 

Journalist Paddy Agnew covered the case extensively from his base in Rome. He has been sharing his memories of that time with Matt Pintus.
