Juventus have confirmed they will appeal against midfielder Milos Krasic's two-match ban for diving.

The 25-year-old Serbia midfielder was found guilty of diving to win the Bianconeri a penalty in their goalless draw with Bologna on Saturday after replays showed he was not touched by opposing defender Daniele Portanova.

After a media frenzy following the dive, the Italian Football Federation handed Krasic a two-game suspension, meaning he is set to miss Juve's Serie A games against AC Milan and Cesena.

But Juve will present their appeal to the board on Wednesday in a bid to get the ban overturned.

"Following the decision of the sporting judge to ban Milos Krasic for two games, Juventus are already working with their lawyers, Michele Briamonte and Luigi Chiappero, to present and urgent appeal to the Football Federation," a statement read on Juventus' official club website.

A similar ban was given to Fiorentina striker Alberto Gilardino last season after he scored a goal with his arm.

Hardly the first serie a player to have this happen to him. Seen adriano and gilardino suffer the same fate before. As to what you are alluding to, they dive as much if not more in la liga...
 
I think It's shocking that the Italian FA can give a ban for diving but will ignore all match violence from supporters and take no action.

The game in Italy needs to be cleaned up BIG TIME.

Actually they dish out fines regularly for clubs who fail to control their fans. They have also started a fan passport program in order to try and insure only the regular fans get into the stadiums.

But the violence and racism aspect is really more of a societal and policing issue then just a football one. The FIGC and serie a can't deal with it on their own.

It's an issue for most European countries... Eastern European countries have big issues with this.
