“Olympic Values”: Resigned from presidency of the Italian Soccer Federation in May of 2009 under<br />

pressure of accusations that officials had certain referees assigned to officiate certain club matches. The<br />

media had published many phone conversations between the Juventus soccer club <strong>and</strong> federation<br />

officials in which they discussed referee assignments for both Serie A <strong>and</strong> Champions’ League games.<br />

There were talks between Carraro <strong>and</strong> Paolo Bergamo, manager of Italian referees. Carraro told<br />

Bergamo that SS Lazio must be helped in order to avoid dropping to Serie B.<br />

Given a four <strong>and</strong> a half year ban from Italian soccer after being implicated in the match-fixing sc<strong>and</strong>al,<br />

but the ban was later replaced by a fine of € 80,000. IOC "Ethics Commission" took no action.<br />

Also under his reign as president, the Italian Soccer League was accused of false accounting. This is a<br />

process in which clubs would exchange players at inflated prices. In 2007, AS Roma was accused, but<br />

ultimately acquitted of charges. In December of that year 7 Serie A clubs, some by then demoted to<br />

Serie B, were accused of false accounting <strong>and</strong> the sale of some players in order to pass financial tests.<br />
