Bacary Sagna's appeal was unsuccessful
Bacary Sagna’s appeal against his £40,000 fine for breaching FA Rules on media comments has been unsuccessful.
The player, who was also warned as to his future conduct, contested the sanction set down by an Independent Regulatory Commission after it heard he admitted making a comment which questioned the integrity of the match official and/or alleged and/or implied bias on the part of the match official, and/or brought the game into disrepute, contrary to Rule E3 (1).
However, an Appeal Board dismissed this appeal and the original sanction remains in place.
