Lazio offer Mauri support

Lazio are confident that club captain Stefano Mauri will be cleared of any wrongdoing in the match-fixing scandal that has rocked Italian football.

Mauri was one of 19 people arrested by police on Monday in connection with a probe carried out by Cremona prosecutors.
The 32-year-old midfielder is being held over allegations of 'criminal association and sporting fraud'.
A statement from Lazio read: "SS Lazio, in view of the action taken by the justice authorities of Cremona regarding player Stefano Mauri, wishes to express maximum respect for the work being carried out by the judges and the investigators in the interest of football.
"It trusts that the player will prove his innocence regarding the allegations he is being accused of."
