Mutko says Russia won’t appeal sanction

PARIS: Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko says there will be no appeal against a UEFA ruling threatening disqualification from the European Championship for more

PARIS: Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko says there will be no appeal against a UEFA ruling threatening disqualification from the European Championship for more acts of violence by the team’s fans. Mutko, who is also the president of the Russian Football Union, says “the punishment is excessive” and calls the 150,000 euro fine “huge,” but says “there is no sense in appealing.” UEFA said more fan violence from Russians in remaining games would trigger expulsion from the tournament.
