Concacaf has clarified to the coach of Canada Jesse Marsch of any irregularity, but fined the Canada’s football for incidents in the Gold Cup game in Canada last week in Vancouver.
Marsch lost the first two games of the tournament, fulfilling a ban that arises from being shown a red card in March in the third place in the Concacaf Nations League. He observed Canada’s 6-0 victory over No. 75 Honduras on June 17 with other team officials at the BC Place BC Place stadium.
After the game, Concacaf announced that its disciplinary committee had initiated disciplinary procedures in Marsch and Canada’s football to see if they had “ignored the regulations applicable to the officials of suspended parties and used an offensive language towards the officials of the Concacaf parties.”
On Monday night, Concacaf issued his ruling.
The Disciplinary Committee fined an unleashed amount “to a soccer in Canada for violating security protocols by accredited delegation officials and not complying with anti -doping procedures by not providing the representative required for the part -time doping control raffle.”
“In addition, the disciplinary committee found no clear evidence that Jesse Marsch did not take into account the rules of the competition with respect to suspended party officials, therefore, he has been authorized by any irregularity,” Concacaf added.
Marsch had sounded optimistic on the early subject on Monday.
“The dialogue has been positive,” he said about Concacaf. “And I think that more than anything, this has been a misunderstanding in some way. I think we are all ready to advance in a positive way.”
In his ruling, Concacaf also threw an olive branch to Canada’s football saying that “recognizes the CSA [Canada Soccer Association’s] constructive commitment in the investigation of the disciplinary committee. “
Canada, in the 30th position in the world, faces No. 81 El Salvador in its last game of group B on Tuesday in Houston.
