Yamal and Lewandowski sanctioned by UEFA for failing to respect rules

According to a report from Marca, UEFA Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski punished with fines of € 5,000 each to violate the anti-doping instructions after the most recent UEFA Champions League match in Barcelona.

The fine comes from when the Blaugrana opposite Inter Milan stood in the second stage of the semi -final of the Champions League in Italy.

The competition ended in a heartbreaking 4-3 defeat (after extra time) for Barcelona, which led to their elimination of the competition.

Fines for Lamine, Lewandowski

Now, according to the report, UEFA has each imposed a fine of € 5,000 on both Lamine and Lewandowski for a violation of the anti-doping regulations.

The administrative body ruled that the Barcelona duo did not follow the instructions of the Doping Control Officer (Article 21.8) and did not immediately go to the Doping Control Station (Article 21.10 (A)), as required by the rules, which resulted in a small fine.

Not only that, but Barcelona manager Hansi Flick also received a fine of € 20,000 and during the same competition has been suspended from a match from UEFA club competitions for incidents.

The German coach was considered guilty of violating the general behavioral principles (Article 11 (1) DR) and the violation of the basic rules of decent behavior (Article 11 (2) (B) DR).

The assistant of Flick, Marcus Sorg, has received the same financial and sporting fine for identical reasons.

All sanctions have an immediate effect and will influence the next European fixture of Barcelona, where Flick and Sorg cannot sit on the couch.

In the meantime, the verdict of the control, ethics and disciplinary body of UEFA also influences Barcelona, which has to pay € 5,250 for their fans throwing objects (Article 16 (2) (B) DR) and € 2,500 for the lighting of fireworks (Article 16 (2) (C) DR) during the match.
