Tevez faces fine, suspension
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 26 - 10 - 2011

Manchester City star Carlos Tevez has been fined four weeks wages following his refusal to warm up during the Champions League clash with Bayern Munich, the Premier League club announced Tuesday.
The Argentinian international, who has not played for City since the bust-up, was also given a two-week suspension, which he has already served, and a warning over his future conduct, the club said. City said in a statement Tevez had breached five regulations including “an obligation to participate in any matches in which the player is selected to play for the club when directed by a Club official.”
Furious City manager Roberto Mancini had accused Tevez of refusing to appear as a substitute when called upon during the Bayern game on Sept. 27.
The Italian manager said the striker was “finished” at the club and would never play for him again. Tevez insisted the incident was a misunderstanding, saying he had merely refused to warmup, claiming he had already done so. Tevez was promptly suspended for two weeks pending a club investigation which concluded last week.
“Following a detailed investigation and associated hearing, a disciplinary panel has upheld the charge of misconduct,” City said.
“Five separate breaches of contract formed the basis of the decision by the panel. As a result Carlos Tevez has been fined four weeks' wages and has been suspended for a period of two weeks (deemed to have already been served).
“He has received a written warning as to his future conduct.”
Tevez has 14 days to decide whether to lodge an appeal to the club's board of directors.
Terry to be investigated
England and Chelsea captain John Terry is to face an investigation by the English Football Association over claims he racially abused QPR defender Anton Ferdinand, authorities confirmed Tuesday.
An FA statement said Terry would be investigated after the organization received a complaint of “alleged racist abuse” stemming from an incident in Sunday's stormy west London derby won by QPR.
“The FA can confirm it has received a complaint relating to an alleged incident of racist abuse in the QPR versus Chelsea fixture at Loftus Road on 23 Oct. 2011,” the FA statement said. “The FA will now begin to make enquiries into this matter. The FA takes seriously any allegations of discrimination and abuse of this type.”
QPR owner Tony Fernandes said in a separate statement the club stood squarely behind Ferdinand, the brother of Terry's England teammate Rio.
