Barcelona stars Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal have been sanctioned by UEFA for breaches of the anti-doping protocol. In the meantime, manager Hansi Flick has also fallen from UEFA's board in a more serious way.
Both Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal have been hit with fines by UEFA for showing off the rules of the anti-doping protocol a match. That is reported by Marca, who says that each player has € 5k to UEFA. The infringements relate to two problems; The players did not attend the anti-doping control tests immediately after the game and they did not follow the instructions of the official performance of the tests.
Manager Hansi Flick, on the other hand, has been hit with a more serious punishment. The German manager has shown that he has infringed the general behavioral principles and has violated the basic rules for basic behavior. Assistant -Manager Marcus Sorg was also found in violation of both rules.
Both have been banned from the Barcelona opening game of the season in the European competition and will be confronted with fines of € 20k. It is not yet exactly clear what led to the fines, but Flick complained about officializing after the semi -final defeat of Barcelona to intervene last year in the Champions League, and was also protested during the game.
It is not the first time that Barcelona contaminated UEFA this summer, after the club had been fined € 15 million for financial infringements at the Kerof. If they do not meet a series of conditions this season, that fine will increase to € 60 million.
Barcelona has also asked that their first Champions League match is being played away from home, while by time they race to prepare Camp Nou for their return, under the threat to return to Montjuic for all four their home games in the competition phase.
