BERNE — Lazio has been fined 40,000 euros ($52,400) for racist behavior by its fans during the Europa League tie at Tottenham Hotspur last month, UEFA said Thursday. According to media reports Spurs striker Jermain Defoe, winger Aaron Lennon and second-half substitute Andros Townsend were the target of monkey chants although manager Andre Villas-Boas said he did not hear anything. The Group J match on Sept. 20 was played at White Hart Lane in front of UEFA president Michel Platini and ended in a 0-0 draw. The Italian Serie A club has struggled with a right-wing element among their fans for some time. — Reuters
