Post by: Shola Sholaz on Feb 08, 2013, 09:04 PM
Serie A leaders Juventus on Friday lost their appeals against a hefty fine and player bans, with only club president Giuseppe Marotta gaining any satisfaction from the Italian league's disciplinary bosses.
.
The reigning champions were sanctioned heavily last week for displaying aggressive behaviour towards match referee who refused to award a late penalty in a recent 1-1 draw at home to Genoa.
.
Juve coach Antonio Conte was handed a two-game ban and £10 000 fine while the club was fined 50 000 euros for failing to control fans who spat on and lashed out at the match officials.
.
Club president Marotta was also banned from his official duties until February 18, while defenders Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini were given two and one-game bans, accompanied by fines of 10 000 and 5 000 euros repectively.
.
The Turis giants had appealed the 50 000-euro fine and Bonucci's two-game ban but both appeals were rejected, according to ANSA news agency.
