Former Atalanta captain Cristiano Doni reportedly said he bet on fixed soccer games in Serie B in Italy involving his club. He stressed that he agreed to go along with the scam because his team was not supposed to lose. Doni was among 16 people arrested across Italy on Monday in an investigation into match-fixing and illegal betting on games. After five days of solitary confinement, Doni was permitted to meet with his lawyer Friday and was then questioned by prosecutors. "Yes, I knew about the fix for Atalanta-Piacenza. I gave my approval and I bet," Doni is quoted as saying by Saturday's Gazzetta dello Sport. "I also tried to do the same thing for the match with Ascoli. But they were all personal initiatives, I'm not part of any organization. ... The club didn't know anything."
