Juventus won its second straight Serie A title on Sunday, beating Reggina 2-0 to finish three points ahead of second-place AC Milan.
David Trezeguet scored a first-half goal and captain Alessandro Del Piero added another in the last minute of play to spark the celebrations.
Juventus clinched its 29th "Scudetto" with 91 points from 38 matches.
But reports in Italy suggested that the Turin club, whose entire board resigned on Thursday after the team was linked to a refereeing scandal, may be stripped of the title if fraud is proven.
Luciano Moggi, whose wiretapped conversations touched off the scandal engulfing Italian soccer, announced he was resigning as Juventus general director.
Moggi, who was in Bari to celebrate the title, suggested he was retiring from soccer for good.
AC Milan beat AS Roma 2-1 at San Siro to finish second. Brazilians Kaka and Marcio Amoroso converted penalty kicks to give the team 88 points.
Juventus' title never was at risk after Trezeguet headed in the opening goal in the 23rd minute at the neutral field in Bari because Reggina was banned from playing at home.
The France striker scored his 23rd goal of the season after a save by Reggina goalkeeper Ivan Pelizzoli.
After Zlatan Ibrahimovic missed two scoring chances with heel and bicycle kick attempts, it was up to Del Piero, fielded as substitute in the 70th, to seal Juventus' victory.
Shortly after the match, hundreds of Juventus fans raided the field to celebrate the title. Many waved Italian flags with the colors of the "Scudetto."
In Milan, Kaka converted a fifth-minute penalty after Alberto Gilardino was fouled close to the net.
Roma defender Philippe Mexes equalized with a diving header in the 34th as Milan goalkeeper Dida reacted slowly.
Amoroso, seldom fielded since his arrival in January, gave Milan a last-minute victory by ring from the penalty spot after Cesare Bovo pulled Gilardino's jersey as the striker was about to score.
Bovo got a red card.
Revelations of positive doping tests for nearly two dozen Chinese swimmers that went unpunished sparked an intense flurry of accusations and legal threats between the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the head of the US drug-fighting organization, who has long been one of WADA’s fiercest critics. WADA on Saturday said it was turning to legal counsel to address a statement released by US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) CEO Travis Tygart, who said WADA and anti-doping authorities in China swept positive tests “under the carpet by failing to fairly and evenly follow the global rules that apply to everyone else in the world.” The
Taiwanese judoka Yang Yung-wei on Saturday won silver in the men’s under-60kg category at the Asian Judo Championships in Hong Kong. Nicknamed the “judo heartthrob” in Taiwan, the Olympic silver-medalist missed out on his first Asian Championships gold when he lost to Japanese judoka Taiki Nakamura in the finals. Yang defeated three opponents on Saturday to reach the final after receiving a bye through the round of 32. He first topped Laotian Soukphaxay Sithisane in the round of 16 with two seoi nage (over-the-shoulder throws), then ousted Indian Vijay Kumar Yadav in the quarter-finals with his signature ude hishigi sankaku gatame (triangular armlock). He

Taiwanese gymnast Lee Chih-kai failed to secure an Olympic berth in the pommel horse following a second-place finish at the last qualifier in Doha on Friday, a performance that Lee and his coach called “unconvincing.” The Tokyo Olympics silver medalist finished runner-up in the final after scoring 6.6 for degree of difficulty and 8.800 for execution for a combined score of 15.400. That was just 0.100 short of Jordan’s Ahmad Abu Al Soud, who had qualified for the event in Paris before the Apparatus World Cup series in Qatar’s capital.
