Italian club Juventus was demoted to the second division for match-fixing by a sports tribunal Friday and stripped of its last two Serie A titles, one of several sanctions aimed at cleaning up the scandal-marred game as the nation celebrates its fourth World Cup title.Lazio and Fiorentina also were demoted to Serie B, and AC Milan was spared demotion but given a 15-point penalty and won’t play in any European competition this season.The toughest penalties meted out to individuals were against former Juventus general manager Luciano Moggi and former Juventus chief executive Antonio Giraudo, who received the maximum five-year ban for match-fixing and disloyalty, with a recommendation to the Italian soccer federation (FIGC) to make it a lifetime ban.The pair, who resigned in May along with the club’s entire board, were accused of creating a network of contacts with FIGC officials to influence refereeing assignments and get players yellow-carded — allegations that are at the heart of the scandal.Of the 26 officials or referees accused in the scandal, 19 received punishment ranging from the maximum five-year ban to a warning; five were acquitted; and two were banned for life without prosecution because they resigned before being charged.Juventus also was penalized 30 points, making its return to Serie A even more difficult and risking valuable sponsorship and broadcast rights tied to its competing in the first division. 10.Meanwhile, Sherman keeps pressing on, working on his grades and his teammates.”He’s absolutely driven,” his counselor, Ken Dawkins, said.
