In a recent match between Preston and Blackburn in England's second division, a controversial incident occurred that has resulted in a player being suspended and fined. Preston's Milutin Osmajic has been handed an eight-match suspension and fined 15,000 pounds (approximately $20,000) for biting Blackburn defender Owen Beck during the game on September 22.
Osmajic admitted to an act of violent conduct by biting Beck late in the game, although he was not sent off by the referee despite Beck's claims of being bitten. The English Football Association announced on Friday that the sanction was imposed due to misconduct.
