BERLIN (Reuters) - Championship club Leeds United have been fined 200,000 pounds and reprimanded over a 'spying' controversy earlier this month, the English Football League (EFL) said on Monday.

Leeds Argetnine manager Marcelo Bielsa admitted last month that his staff had watched all the club's opponents in training this season after a spy was removed from Derby County's training ground the day before their second-tier clash.
