Juventus given €10,000 fine for racist chants

Juventus hit with racism fine

Italian giants Juventus have been fined once again for racist chanting by their fans during Saturday's 2-1 victory against Udinese in Serie A.

Colombian wing-back Pablo Armero and Cape Verde-born Swiss midfielder Gelson Fernandes were victims of racist abuse throughout the game.

The Turin club have been given a €10,000 (£8,400) fine for their fans' conduct. This is the same amount they were docked in October over racist chanting during their win at Inter Milan.

The Old Lady have a poor record when it comes to racism, having regularly abused Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli - an Italian of Ghanaian origin – during the player's days at Inter.

In 2008-09 Juventus had to play a match behind closed doors after their fans were found guilty of racist chanting.
