"Watching through pirate streams or intentional violation of coronavirus prevention rules has cost the team of Rome's "Lazio" dearly. It has been officially confirmed that the Italian Football Federation has imposed harsh penalties on the representatives of the "Serie A" team. Two team doctors have been disqualified for 12 months, team president Claudio Lotito has been banned from football for 7 months, and the club must pay a fine of 150,000 euros. According to "Lazio", the team will definitely appeal and try to reduce or eliminate the punishment. The Federation explained that the sanctions were imposed for not following "prevention rules", stating that the club violated the 10-day self-isolation requirement and allowed a player with asymptomatic Covid-19 to participate in an Italian championship match. "Lazio" also avoided informing local authorities about positive COVID-19 cases and allowed three infected players to participate in training."
