PARIS (Reuters) - French referee Tony Chapron's ban for trying to kick out at Nantes player Diego Carlos in a Ligue 1 game against Paris St Germain has been increased from three to eight months, two of them suspended, newspaper Le Dauphine Libere reported on Friday.
During stoppage-time of the match on Jan. 14, Chapron bumped into Brazilian Carlos and fell over with TV footage showing him swinging his leg towards the running defender’s shins.
