The Dirty Game
FILE -- In this Oct. 29, 2011 file photo Juventus coach Antonio Conte gestures during the Serie A soccer match between Inter Milan and Juventus at the San Siro stadium in Milan, Italy. Soccer is falling under a cloud of suspicion as never before, sullied by a multibillion-dollar web of match-fixing that is staining increasingly larger parts of the world's most popular sport.

Antonio Conte, coach of the Italian club Juventus _ a team whose winning tradition rivals that of baseball's New York Yankees _ returned in December after a fourth-month ban for failing to report match-fixing.
