New Delhi: Indian Super League on Friday said that its organising committee was in the process of studying the order pronounced by its regulatory commission which slapped FC Goa a whopping Rs 11 crore fine while banning their two co-owners for a few seasons for 'bringing disrepute' to the tournament.
"The ISL organising committee is in the process of studying the order pronounced by its five-member eminent and independent regulatory commission headed by Hon'ble Justice DA Mehta," the ISL said in a statement.
"We thank the jury for completing the hearing in less than five months, considering the delays caused due to several extensions sought by FC Goa," it added.
âCommitted to spirit of the game'
The ISL said it was committed to upholding the spirit of the game. "ISL stands committed to upholding the true spirit of the beautiful game and the fans' interest first. ISL will continue to invest in Indian football, until we as a nation realise our true potential in this sport," the statement said.
Yesterday, the five-member ISL Regulatory Commission headed by Justice (Retd) DA Mehta banned FC Goa co-owners Srinivas Dempo and Dattaraj Salgaocar from taking part in any ISL activities for two and three seasons respectively while the franchise was slapped a total fine of Rs 11 crore for âbringing disrepute' to the league.
The decisions were related to the controversy surrounding the scuffle between Chennaiyin FC's Brazillian marquee player Elano Blumer and FC Goa officials after the ISL second season final in Margao in December last.
