ZURICH (Reuters) - The president of Swiss top flight club FC Sion has vowed to defy a 14-month ban imposed on him for attacking a television commentator following a league match last month. Christian Constantin was suspended by the Swiss Football League's disciplinary committee on Thursday and is banned from entering any part of a stadium that is hosting a domestic league, cup or national team match. In a statement, the committee describe Constantin's behaviour as "a clear and serious violation" of its code of conduct and said he had "discredited the values of football".
"It makes me laugh," Constantin told Swiss newspaper Le Matin. "I was not even called or heard (by the disciplinary commission). If they want a war, they'll have a of war. We'll see who is standing at the end."
