London Times Cruelly Disrespects Calciopoli

In their new list of the 50 Greatest Sporting Scandals, the London Times (you may recall earlier discussion of their Summer o' Lists) has the audacity to rank Calciopoli seventh, a slight which La Gazetta dello Sport does not take lying down. The headline of their article reads "The Times subs Moggiopoli," and the first paragraph angrily derides the placing of the scandal behind such minor events as Ben Johnson's Olympic doping and the madness at this year's Tour de France.
