Siena docked one point for late tax payment
MILAN, Oct 19 (Reuters) - Serie A club Siena were docked one point on Thursday due to late payment of taxes on players' wages.
Serie B club Pescara received an identical punishment after they also failed to meet the July deadline imposed on clubs.
Siena president Paolo De Luca was handed a three month suspension from the game by the Italian Football League's disciplinary commission but said he would appeal that decision and the point penalty.
'This is a shocking decision and although it is demoralising, we will be appealing,' he told Gazzetta dello Sport's website.
Before Thursday's decision, Tuscan side Siena were fifth in Serie A on 11 points.
