The LFP Disciplinary Commission delivered its verdict on the behavior of Lyon supporters in Marseille on October 29.
Canceled after the Gones bus was stoned on the approach to the Vélodrome on October 29 – resulting in the serious injury of Fabio Grosso in particular – the Olympico still offered a sad platform of expression to certain Lyon supporters in the visitor parking area of the Marseille enclosure.
Originally placed in instruction “ in view of the seriousness of the facts » – namely racist words and gestures, such as Nazi salutes – the case studied this Wednesday by the Disciplinary Commission of the Professional Football League resulted in the following sanction: “ Closure for four matches, three of which are suspended from the visitors’ area for the next matches played away by Olympique Lyonnais “.
Three Lyon supporters in police custody
The disciplinary body, to justify this altogether lenient sentence, puts forward “ having become aware of tangible elements provided by Olympique Lyonnais “, and especially ” nominative complaints against previously identified supporters “. On Tuesday, as part of an investigation carried out by the Marseille prosecutor’s office, three OL supporters were placed in police custody for ” incitement to racial hatred and racial insults “.
