Torino lawyer Eduardo Chiacchio commented on the case, saying:
We reiterated that we have clearly proven Torino’s reasons with the confirmation of the sports judge’s ruling.
It is undeniable the cause of force majeure for which Torino could not reach the Stadio Olimpico for the match on March 2nd.
Lazio, on the other hand, reiterated the reasons why the match should have gone ahead regardless and so have asked for the 3-0 forfeit win.
