NIKLAS BENDTNER IS FINED 80,000 POUNDS.

U.E.F.A have now fined the Danish striker Niklas Bendtner 80,000 pounds. The mistake he made was that he showed a advertisement under his shorts , with the words Paddy Power. This is illegal and U.E.F.A rules do not allow any private advertisements by footballers. The reason could be they want to protect their main sponsorers. But the fine is very huge won for the offense, as Russia were fined 120,000 pounds for attacking stewards on the pitch and for Russia failing to control their fans. F.c.Porto were fined 16,7000 pounds when their fans racially abused Mario Bolotelli. It looks very much like U.E.F.A want to make hay while the sun shines, as there was a poor sale of tickets due to fear of racial and crowd violence.
