Gold Coast have been slapped with a $20,000 fine by the AFL after the club's fifth incident of a player making contact with an umpire this season.
Suns stalwart Daniel Rioli was found guilty of making careless contact with an umpire during the club's loss to Geelong last weekend.
The AFL Tribunal upheld the charge against Rioli on Tuesday night, with the league handing down the $20,000 penalty to the club on Wednesday.
