Two Swiss top-tier soccer players have been suspended for 12
matches over illegal payments to another team in last season's promotion chase.
The Swiss football league says it also fined Lugano players
Patrick Rossini and Igor Djuric 8000 Swiss francs ($A11,100) each.
Lugano won the second division in May after a promotion duel
with Servette.
The league says Rossini and Djuric approached Schaffhausen
players and promised money for avoiding defeat in a late-season match at
Servette.
After Schaffhausen's 2-1 win helped Lugano's title push, the
team was paid 20,000 euros ($A30,280), the league says.
Schaffhausen players Mirko Facchinetti and Antonio Dos
Santos were fined 5000 and 3000 Swiss francs respectively for their role.
The league reprimanded Schaffhausen coach Maurizio Jacobacci
for not reporting the issue.
