Taricco Fined - Ipswich Town News
Former Town defender Mauricio Taricco has escaped a further ban after today's hearing into an incident involving Chelsea's Mario Melchiot in Spurs' Worthington Cup semi-final clash with Chelsea. He already faces a five match lay-off after his two recent sendings off.
Taricco was fined £5,000 by the FA disciplinary committee who said: "The panel found Taricco guilty of improper conduct for which the penalty is at the discretion of the disciplinary commission.
"On this occasion, the panel fined Taricco £5,000 and warned him as to his future conduct."
His recent disciplinary problems have led to Town being linked with a move for their former player, something ruled out by George Burley while Spurs, and specifically David Pleat, have said they are not looking to off-load Taricco.
