Cristiano Doni represented Italy in the 2002 World Cup

Former Italy international Cristiano Doni was banned for three and a half years over alleged match fixing and his club Atalanta of which he's captain was docked six points in a bribery scandal. 17 other individuals were charged by the FIGC including retired Lazio striker Giuseppe Signori banned from football related activity for five years at the very least.

The bribery investigations focus mainly on Serie B clubs with Atalanta as the only top tier exception. The deducted points will be prospective and will apply to the new season which already puts Atalanta into relegation trouble.
