Parma has points deducted for fixing, striker banned
Print Edition
Parma striker Emanuele Calaio has been banned for two years for match- fixing, while the Italian club will start the 2018-19 Serie A campaign with a five-point deduction, the nation’s soccer federation, or FIGC, said yesterday.
Italy’s National Federal Court imposed the sanctions after Calaio sent “suspicious messages” to some of his former teammates ahead of Spezia’s Serie B match against Parma on May 18. The 36-year-old Calaio has also been fined 20,000 euros (US$23,446) for the incident. Parma denied any wrongdoing and said it will appeal the ruling. The match in question finished 2-0 to Parma, which ensured it ended second in the Serie B standings to return to Italy’s top flight. The club was relegated to Serie D after being declared bankrupt in 2015, but will return to Serie A after three consecutive promotions.
