(ANSA) - Rome, May 21 - Italy's National Amateur Soccer League voted no confidence Thursday in President Felice Belloli over remarks he allegedly made about women soccer players.
    Sources said the vote was unanimous after Belloli put his future in its hands. He has denied reports he dismissed women soccer players as "a bunch of lesbians" in a discussion over funding.
