Juventus' second attempt to stay in Serie A received a blow after an unsuccessful meeting with the Italian Olympic Committee and the Italian Football Federation on Friday. The Turin club have been stripped from their 2004 and 2006 League titles, relegated to Serie B and deducted from 17 points after found guilty in the Calciopoli scandal, and the board was hoping the demotion ban can be lifted by the Italian Federation. "The result of this meeting was not a positive one, but at least we had the opportunity to explain our position," Juventus President Giovanni Gigli was quoted as saying by La Gazzetta Dello Sport. Gigli, who confirmed that Juventus want to be a part of the current reforms in Italian football, said that he'll be meeting with the club board to decide the next step of their appeal. "We will examine all of our options calmly, convinced as we are, in our search for a more fair punishment." "Our options are arbitration, but there is also the Regional Administrative tribunal (TAR) and the European Court, We want the correct penalty for our club.” Gigli added.
