Default Marseille's 1993 CL win may be revoked

http://www.channel4.com/sport/footba...ia/jan21d.html

No one heard about this? A midfielder that played on Marseille in the 1993 CL final against Milan has said that all of the players were taking doping products in the final, except for Rudi Voller. If Milan's lawyers look into this, that trophy could be their's.

Hmm, well, I can't say I'm surprised, Bernard Tapie, OM's president was/is a notorious crook, and I think doping was common at the time...
And the treatment Marseille's defenders gave to Van Basten wasn't exactly "fair-play" neither...

I though technically Marseille already were "stripped" of the trophy? Who cares. Everyone remembers that they won it. You really can't go back and retroactivley take a trophy away in anything but the most techical sense unless you can erase people's memories.

tu c'est a l'epoque le dopage etait monnaie courant surtout en Italie.

par exemple la finale Parme - OM, tous les joueurs de parme courait comme des lapin.

aujourdhui en Italie et en Espagne il on droit certaine drogue pour recupére plus vite, alors que la France et L'allemagne on pas droit d'en prendre.


Jean-Jacques Eydelie et au chomage, y'a rien de mieux que de faire un scandal pour avoir pleins de pognon grace a son nouveau livre.

It makes somewhat of a difference. On future records it would probably be changed (perhaps asterisked). To the players in that game, and for our club it makes a difference.

I'm not jumping to any conclusions here, just if this happens to be true.

But the remark about the Parma-OM final in 1999 is valid. If Marseille is stripped the 1993 trophy, in the same logic, they have to get the 1999 UEFA cup...

That's my understanding as well. Although I believe that was due to OM's domestic "issues"...not sure if an issue directly related to the final/competition itself would make things different, in the sense that the trophy would actually be given to Milan 13 years later.

























In any case, I just hope Milan isn't awarded anything until May (if at all), otherwise Berlusconi is certain to use this to his advantage in the upcoming elections...

"Look, Italians, in the same way that I got the trophy back for our club, I will get your earnings back for you!"

Well you'd better start "stripping" Juventus of all of their trophies too.

Whenever these claims come out, one must investigate the source....
