Hypothetical situation on OL's 7 in a row.

Please don't read into this as truth, this is just a hypothetical situation I've made up to see what reaction this gets.

OL won their only 7 Ligue 1 championships, from 2002-2008 in concurrent seasons, an astonishing feat it has to be said. They swept everyone away during this period and built up some impressive teams and had some great players of world football such as Benzema.

My hypothetical situation is this, what would happen if it was discovered that the ways that OL had achieved these league titles were not all as what they seem. What if it was discovered that the owner of OL was part of one of the biggest events of cheating in French football. What if it was discovered that the owner of OL had links with people high up in a national bank in France and the people he knew were allowing him to spend whatever money he wanted, with the money only appearing as 'loans' in the bankbooks. What would happen if it was discovered that the loans amounted up to 1.2 billion over a period spanning around 20 years (including the 7 years they won the title).

Would you see OL's league championships as won fairly, or would you believe that they got a sporting advantage over other clubs and that there should be something done about these league titles- such as being awarded to 2nd place, or have an asterisk put next to them on the history books. Plus what would happen to the OL owner if he was found out to be doing this?

Well, that's not so dumb...

Seriously though, what would happen? Would the titles be removed from them- would government get involved?
