Roma star Francesco Totti has avoided a ban for a provocative
gesture during the Eternal City derby with Lazio - and has been
fined 20,000 euros.
The Italy forward was fined for a thumbs down gesture in
front of Lazio fans as Roma recorded a 2-1 win at the Stadio
Olimpico on Sunday evening.
Lazio are 16th in Serie A, just three points above the
relegation zone and Totti's gesture was thought to be suggesting
they were heading for the drop.
Totti was substituted at half-time during the win, which saw
the Giallorossi regain their place at the top of Serie A.
Lazio duo Mauro Zarate and Roberto Baronio were fined 8,000
euros and 5,000 euros, respectively, for their behaviour at the end
of the derby.
