Di Canio in fascist salute ban

Paolo Di Canio has been banned for one game and fined £7,000 by the Italian FA for making a fascist salute.

The 37-year-old Lazio striker - who spent time in England with Sheffield Wednesday and West Ham - has now made the gesture three times during matches.

He was fined £7,000 but escaped a ban for his antics against AS Roma in January and raised his arm after being substituted against Livorno earlier in the month.

Di Canio made the gesture again last weekend against Juventus.

UEFA's Control and Disciplinary Committee made note of Fowler's sporting behaviour in assessing the punishment beginning its press release saying, "It may seem strange and even unfair...".
