The assembly of the Italian League LBA has decided to exclude Fiat Torino from the Setie A championship. The decision has been taken for conduct incompatible with the permanence in the League in light of the entry of Dimitry Gerasimenko in the new corporate structure that owns the Turin club. Gerasimenko was the owner of the Cantù until last February.
In taking their decision the clubs have assessed the relevance, for the purposes of the association, of the fact that a subject cannot take over the social structure of a club without taking into account the situation of indebtedness caused by the same, in the same sports season, against another member. The resolution will be sent to the Italian Federation for the related measures regarding the participation of the club in the Serie A championship.
Torino team ranks currently thirteenth in the 16-club Serie A competition, behind a 8-20 record, and its next game was scheduled for this Sunday at Cantù.
