Savage must pay for toilet incident
[Reuters]
LONDON -- Midfielder Robbie Savage was
found guilty of improper conduct by the English Football
Association on Friday for using the referee's toilet before a
premier league match in April.
The Welsh international was reprimanded, warned as to his
future conduct and fined $15,350 plus costs at
the hearing called to consider the incident before a match
between his former club Leicester City and Aston Villa on April
20.
Referee Graham Poll included the incident in his report to
the FA a couple of days after the drawn game.
FA rules state that players are not allowed to enter the
official's room without permission.
The 27-year-old, who has since joined newly-promoted premier
league club Birmingham City, had been fined two weeks wages by Leicester.
