SILVIO BERLUSCONI says it was a rigged[1] contest that his side won. Not Italy's election: its football championship. His team, AC Milan, finished second in both the past two seasons to Juventus. （1）But the Turin team is at the centre of a match-fixing scandal that may be the biggest even this country has seen. On May 16th, less than a month before the start of the soccer World Cup in Germany, Italy's top sporting body, the Olympic committee, put the national football federation under emergency rule. The federation's president had q_______① after claims that he ignored evidence of misconduct by officials, referees and players. The committee chose a 75-year-old former stockmarket regulator, Guido Rossi, in his place.
西尔维奥•贝鲁斯科尼说，他那一方赢的是一场被操纵的比赛。他这说的不是意大利选举，而是足球赛。他的AC米兰队在过去两个赛季都排在尤文图斯之后居于次席。但是尤文图斯（注：尤文图斯俱乐部位于意大利西北部城市都灵）目前正陷入意大利有史以来最大的一件操纵比赛的丑闻漩涡之中。（译者按：“fix”在这里是“操控，操纵”的意思，“this country has seen”本义是“该国所见证的”，意译为“有史以来”。）5月16日，亦即距德国世界杯开幕不到一个月的时候，意大利最高体育组织——奥委会对国家足协实行了紧急管制。由于被指称对比赛官员、裁判以及球员的不轨表现坐视不理，足协主席已经离任，奥委会挑选了75岁的前股市调节员吉多•罗西接替他的位置。
Football fans have long s________④ that Juventus, which for years was universally associated with the Fiat automotive group and a symbol of Italian industrial pride, gets unduly[6] favourable treatment. （4）But investigations in Naples and three other cities point to corrupt practices far beyond Turin. Several teams are involved. One of them is AC Milan.
