Ultra bosses held


THREE hardcore "ultra" fans of Italian Serie B side Bari were arrested yesterday after being accused of threatening their own players with violence if they did not deliberately lose games. The trio of ultra bosses have been accused of trying to make their players lose at least three matches during last season, when the Puglian club was in Serie A, allegedly in order to earn large sums of money through bets placed on Bari losing. The matches being looked into are: Bari v Sampdoria; Cesena v Bari; and Bari v Chievo.
