West Ham has been heavily fined after being found guilty of
breaching Football Association rules following crowd violence at
the club's League Cup match against Millwall.
The FA's regulatory commission ruled Friday that the
relegation-threatened Premier League club must pay a 115,000-pound
($187,000) fine.
West Ham was found guilty failing to ensure that supporters
refrained from violent behavior and failing to prevent them from
coming onto the pitch.
Millwall was cleared of all charges stemming from the match
in August.
A Millwall fan was stabbed outside Upton Park and 64 arrests
were made.
