PRAGUE (AFP) - Former West Ham defender Tomas Repka has been fined 150,000 koruna (7,580 dollars) by his club Sparta Prague for lashing out at a cameraman after being sent off during a league game.
The Sparta Prague captain attacked the Czech Television cameraman on his way off the field as his club lost for the first time this season against northern rivals Teplice on Sunday.
The game ended in controversy as Sparta midfielder Martin Abraham, who was also red-carded, was fined 150,000 koruna for verbally abusing the referee and assistant coach Horst Siegl 50,000 koruna for his comments from the sidelines.
"At the end of the game I was under great stress and under the impression of suffering a great injustice," Repka explained in a statement.
Sparta play a UEFA Cup clash with Denmark's Odense on Thursday, the same day the Czech football disciplinary commission is due to discuss the incident.
