Serie B, stoppage for 11 players: sting for Alex Ferrari and clarification on the events of Bari-Cremonese

Serie B, the decisions of the Giudice Sportivo

The Sporting Judge of Serie B, Ines Pisano, has disqualified eleven players not only after reading the reports of the matches valid for the 26th day of the cadet championship, but also after analyzing the television images regarding the behavior of the Dorian Alex Ferrari during the match between Sudtirol and Sampdoria. Instead, we will have to wait for the in-depth analysis of the facts of Bari-Cremonese denounced in the press by the biancorosso coach Moreno Longo.

Specifically, there are three matches that Samp’s Ferrari will be forced to miss: two for being sent off and for "disrespectful expression toward a match official" plus one more because "the player in question è was clearly framed by TV footage while uttering a blasphemous expression, identifiable without a margin of reasonable doubt".

As for what happened at the "San Nicola", the Sporting Judge specified that, "having read the report of the collaborators of the Federal Prosecutor’s Office, he considers it necessary that a detailed additional report be sent, by the same Prosecutor’s Office, having also acquired additional testimonies, regarding the events that occurred at the end of the match".

These, however, are all the other measures:
