CAIRO: Zamalek have fined striker Junior Agogo $20,000 as a result of his improper conduct during the team s scoreless draw with Petrojet in the Egyptian League. According to Ahmed Refaat, the football director of the Cairo-based club, the technical staff decided to penalize the Ghanaian international after watching the game video. Beforehand, the controversial striker had been handed a fine of LE 20,000 and a three-match suspension by the Egyptian Football Association (EFA). We admit that Agogo made a mistake, but we insist to get his suspension revoked, Refaat told Zamalek s official website. Imposing a fine is the appropriate punishment, but suspension causes more problems for the club rather than for the misbehaved player. The 29-year-old was caught on camera making an impolite gesture, but it hasn t been determined whom he was targeting.
